If you can afford to do this, yes. I have this problem regularly with
mixing ra_local and ra_dav access to the same repository. What's
worse is that Berkeley DB will often report database corruption when
the only issue is that it can't read or write to a log file it needs.
I incorporated the following into my repos backup script which usually
staves off any problems, but sometimes I need to chmod and db_recover
to fix the problem.

REPODB="${REPO}/db"

# fix permissions before we try svnadmin
sudo chmod -R 664 "${REPODB}"
sudo chmod 775 "${REPODB}"
sudo chown -R www:svn "${REPODB}"

I'm not sure the right way to fix this transparently; it will probably
be an issue with ra_pipe as well, since the svn binary runs as the
user rather than as the Web server in that case.
