Hello! Here's our problem (as root):

 /usr/lib/subversion/tools/backup/hot-backup.py subversion/ BACKUPS/
Beginning hot backup of 'subversion/'.
Youngest revision is 688
Backing up repository to 'BACKUPS/subversion-688'...
svn: Can't open file 'subversion/db/strings' for reading.
Unable to backup the repository.

'svnadmin recover' and 'svnadmin verify' report nothing amiss. We can check out, commit, and update without errors; we just can't back up our repository. So, what's the problem here?

Thanks for any help! Btw, this is svn 1.1.1. :]
