Try running "db_recover" in the db subdirectory of the repository. (Which is
the Berkeley DB direct way to do almost exactly the same as what svnadmin
recover does, but it will hopefully give a more useful error message.

I suggest you visit #svn on irc.freenode.net for interactive help with the
problem.
