My god I'm confused!
This isn't even an existing repository so I don't need to recover anything.
My situation. I create a repos with TSVN 1.4 (how it does that I dont
know, file:// I guess...(Over Mapped Network Drive) I just right click,
and boom its done..)
I can then access it with FILE:// protocol in the repo browser but NOT
with SVN:// (I have tried with 1.4 and 1.3)
I've now created my repos with svnadmin 1.3, and NOT TSVN which has made
the format 3 which should solve all my problems... hopefully!
