Did you upgrade mod_dav_svn as well?

You were probably using a version of Subversion that used an older
format for the repository. If that's the case, you'll need to "svnadmin
dump" the repository using an old version of the client and then
"svnadmin load" using the new version.

P.S. Maybe the client should suggest the dump/load if it gets the above
      error? Or if it's possible to tell that the format file does not
      exist, while the db, hooks etc. directories do?
