The __db.* files are just shared memory regions, they get recreated
later. It's actually better to remove them during database recovery.
What you need is the database and log files, which all seem to be there
(judging from your listing).

I'd say something is seriously wrong either wirh your Subversion build
or your Berkeley DB, and I suspect the following. Have you tried the
db_recover command? Apart from that, it does the same thing as "svnadmin
recover". If that works, you'll at least know that the problem is in
Subversion. Or the other way around, of course.
