Apache Repos Access Problems

Greetings,

I've created a repository, and am able to access it via the svn
command-line tools. I'm able to import, list, check out, and so forth
without a problem. I am, however, having problems accessing the
repository via the web.

The relevant section of my apache2.conf looks like this:

<Location /dotfiles>
        SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
        DAV svn
        SVNPath /var/svn/dotfiles
</Location>

On startup of apache, and attempting to hit the repository's page, I get
the following in my error_log:

[Wed Mar 19 12:52:59 2003] [notice] Apache/2.0.44 (Gentoo/Linux) mod_ssl/2.0.44 OpenSSL/0.9.6i DAV/2 SVN/0.19.1 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Wed Mar 19 12:53:02 2003] [error] [client 128.174.80.53] Could not fetch resource information. [500, #0] [Wed Mar 19 12:53:02 2003] [error] [client 128.174.80.53] Could not open
the SVN filesystem at /var/svn/dotfiles [500, #160029] [Wed Mar 19 12:53:02 2003] [error] [client 128.174.80.53] (17)File exists: Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem /var/svn/dotfiles/db: Invalid argument [500, #160029]

From the browser, I get this message:

<m:human-readable errcode="160029">
  Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem /var/svn/dotfiles/db: Invalid argument
</m:human-readable>

Apache2 is running as user apache, group apache, and apache.apache owns
the /var/svn/dotfiles directory structure, and all files contained
within. The modes on the files are the default created during
`svnadmin create /var/svn/dotfiles`. All I've done since creation of
the repository is `svn import file:///var/svn/dotfiles dotfiles` where
the latter argument is a directory on the local filesystem.

/var, and everything contained within, is not nfs-mounted. I'm running
a version of subversion bootstrapped from the tarball this morning, on
gentoo linux, under apache 2.0.44, linked against BerkeleyDB 4.1.24.

I'm probably making some elementary mistake here, but in going through
the INSTALL and README files, as well as hitting the FAQ and searching
the mailing lists, I'm unable to find a similar situation that seems
relevant to my installation. Does anybody have an idea of what might be
happening?

Thanks much,

Aaron
