Specifically, the httpd process is unable to open the files within the
'dav' subdirectory of your repository. If they are all truly chmod'd
777, then perhaps it's a version problem... i.e. svnadmin used some
database was used to create them (gdbm? bdb?) and httpd/mod_dav_svn is
trying to use a different database library to open them via APR.

Perhaps an 'ldd svnadmin' can show you what it's using?

Another tactic is to run 'httpd -X' within gdb, and break on
dav_svn_get_txn(). You can step into apr_dbm_open() and see what's
happening.
