This was really, really nice advice! Thank you!

Both 'svnadmin verify' and 'svnadmin dump' ran fine without any errors.
I didn't know that these commands existed. By using 'svnadmin dump' and
'svnadmin load' I have managed to get a repository that, to my untrained
eye :) , looks just like the old repository.

As soon as I find the time I will follow your other advice and switch to
  an FSFS backend.
