'Invalid argument' is a generic catch-all for a zillion different
errors that are happening within BDB. In svnadmin 1.1, the 'recover'
command actually tries to print the true error. You might want to try
using that tool for more information.

Regardless, the next thing I'd try is:

    * copy the repository somewhere
    * run 'db_recover -vech repos_copy/db/'
