I do have a couple of ideas. First, I know there were a few issues with
the first Win32 binaries that were released. You may want to try and
download the .zip file again.

Secondly, looking at the code, it appears that the above error can occur
if we fail to convert the path to the launched executable into a valid
UTF-8 sequence. Have you tried running something like 'svn --help' from
the same directory that you're running 'svnadmin' from?
