The revision that is bad is next unverified revision. So in your example:

> $ show_exit_code "svnadmin verify ."
> * Verified revision 0.

> * Verified revision 2.
> svnadmin: Missing node- id in node- rev

Revision 3 would be the bad revision. However this doesn't mean that revision 4 or 15-20 are not bad also. With svnadmin verify, there is no way to tell. Only doing an incremental dump on each revision would tell you there is a problem.

This is the script I use to cron with:

#!/usr/bin/bash

SVN_HOME=/path/to
SVN_VAR=/some/place/for
SVN_BIN=/where/svn/is/installed

find $SVN_HOME/repositories/* -type d -prune |
while read i
do
        $SVN_BIN/svnadmin verify $i > #SVN_VAR/logs/svn-verify-`basename $i`.log 2>&1 || {
                tail $SVN_VAR/logs/svn-verify-`basename $i`.log | mail -s "svn verify: `basename $i` FAILED: `hostname` `date`" your_address@some.domain.com
        }
done
