Something probably left a lock behind. Try this:

1. make sure all processes that could possibly be accessing the
repository are shut down (apache, svnserve, etc.)

2. back up the repository via 'cp -R'

3. rm repos/locks/db.lock

4. touch repos/locks/db.lock

5. svnadmin recover repos

6. make sure permissions/ownership are correct everywhere.

7. restart servers
