Mike,

What a coincidence! I just ran into a similar problem and posted a question
about it a few minutes ago. I too ended up with bad permissions on repository
files. I created the following script to fix things up. Since I have several
different repositories (all under the same top-level directory) my script
loops through those repositories setting things right. You might want to use
this as a basis for a recovery script of your own.

========================================================
#!/bin/bash
repos_base=/srv/svn/repos
find $repos_base -maxdepth 1 -type d | while read r ; do
        chown -R wwwrun:www $r/{dav,db,locks}
done
========================================================

WARNING!!! Brand new script only used once! May be buggy!
