Help with Error: Expected version '3' of repository; found version '5'

 Hi all,
  
  Sorry about this newbie question, but I've been unable to find a solution to
this problem. I am trying to use TortoiseSVN on a PC (64-bit intel) and access
a svn repo on a Linux server (chaos_3_x86_64_ib) via passwordless svn+ssh.
  Unfortunately, I keep getting "Error: Expected version '3' of repository;
found version '5'" when trying to checkout the code, etc. As soon as I
downgrade the schema to version 3, it works ok. What I don't understand is how
to make TortoisSVN work with schema 5, etc. I need to do this to maintain
compatiblility with hooks scripts that were written for version 5.

  Here are my versions:
  TortoiseSVN 1.4.5, Build 10425 - 64 Bit, 2007/08/26 11:14:14.
  svn, version 1.4.3 (r23084) compiled Feb 9 2007, 10:29:35
  svnserve, version 1.4.3 (r23084) compiled Feb 9 2007, 10:29:35
  svnadmin, version 1.4.3 (r23084) compiled Feb 9 2007, 10:29:35

  I am under the impression that TortoiseSVN 1.4.x is compatible with svn 1.4.x.
  Am I doing something wrong? As soon as I downgrade the schema to version 3,
everything works ok (except all my extra hooks scripts, etc.)

  As a test, I just created a dummy repo with "svnadmin create jnkrepo" and
added a jnk directory to it. Same problem. However, as soon as I used the
--pre-1.4-compatible flag it worked. I.E. "svnadmin create --pre-1.4-compatible
jnkrepo" works. My goal is to use the schema version 5 of svn, not version 3.
  Is my problem related to using the passwordless ssh to login? How do I get
around this error? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin
