Scouring the mailing list archives a second time paid off. I found
this resolution and it seems to have worked in my case as well. If
that turns out not to be the case I will post to let everyone know:

Yeah, I had the same problem. I got it to work by changing the global
settings section (line 30-34) to:
# Path to svnlook utility
svnlook = "C:\\Progra~1\\Subversion\\bin\\svnlook.exe" # svnlook =
"@SVN_BINDIR@/svnlook"
# Path to svnadmin utility
svnadmin = "C:\\Progra~1\\Subversion\\bin\\svnadmin.exe" #
svnadmin =
"@SVN_BINDIR@/svnadmin"
...and by changing the invocation of spawnl (line 128) to:
err_code = os.spawnl(os.P_WAIT, svnadmin, svnadmin, "hotcopy",
repo_dir,
Hope that helps.
