Ok i've found the problem.

'svnlook youngest <repos>' fails ... it says :

'svnlook: Berkeley DB error for filesystem seSpatialExplorer/db while
opening environment:
DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
svnlook: bdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery'

No idea what caused this ...

But i think hot-backup.py could use a better error-message.

Regards,

Sander.
