I guess I do have to change to FSFS:

On my new server I get:

# sudo -u svn svnadmin create /srv/svn/Project
svn: Berkeley DB error while creating environment for filesystem /srv/svn/Project/db:
Invalid argument
svn: bdb: Berkeley DB library configured to support only DB_PRIVATE environments

So I'll switch to FSFS.
