Could you explain the general activity flow for your conversion? I'm
not sure, but it sounds like you're really going at this the hard way.
Also, could you post the errors you're getting with the repository?
It's quite possible that it isn't hosed, but rather is just wedged (I
can't tell without the exact errors, though). Do you know if this is
a BDB-backed repository?

Unfortunately, I have exactly zero experience with VSS automation and
even less desire to learn.
I'm afraid you're on your own for this one.
I seriously doubt this is how your repository got hosed. On the
other hand exiting due to an error may have caused the repository to
end up in a wedged state.

Tsk, tsk, tsk... Never ever run an untested script (especially one
of this magnitude) on the live version of a repository. It's just
asking for trouble. If you need to make a copy of a live repository,
you can use the svn-hot-backup script.
Can you explain again why you need to perform this conversion? It
wasn't really clear the first time you explained it, and it seems
like you're doing a lot of work for a questionable level of benefit.
