Ah... doh! Ok that's solved by cut:
svn st | grep ^\? | cut -c 6- | tr "\n" "\000" | xargs -0 -n1 svn add

(Jorge previously suggested cut -c 6-500 which truncates at 500 chars)
Like Saulius though I usually resort to a single tool, but for me its
perl not sed:
svn st | perl -ne 'print if s/^\?.{5}(.*)/$1\000/' | xargs -0 -n1 svn add

Saulius' sed script fails when there's apostrophes in the filenames.
