Hi,
For anyone reading the archives, the problem did seem to be with the install.
I copied the broken repositories to a CentOS 3.6 box, running
Subversion 1.2.1 from the Dag Wieers YUM repository. (CentOS 3.6 uses
db 4.1.25 so it was compatible with the dbfs svn repositories I had)
Then I ran svnadmin recover on all the broken repositories and it
recovered them just fine.
