svnsync malformed file

Hi all.

I have a problem with a sync'ed repository. Over the last few days I've
been svnsync-ing my large repo to a backup destination. Today I suffered
a power failure that caused the destination machine to reboot (ie not
cleanly).

Now when I try to restart the svnsync it responds with "svnsync:
Malformed file".

I've run svnadmin verify on the destination repository and it says
everything is file - or at least reports no errors, and the last
revision to be copied is verified ok.

I've run svnadmin recover and it too reports no problems.

So - which file is svnsync complaining about, and is there any way I can
get it to restart the sync without having to delete the entire repo and
start from scratch?

(incidentally, I've just tried with svn itself, to list the repository
contents and it reports the same "malformed file" error. Obviously my
repo is screwed, but I'd still like to know if its recoverable and which
file is the malformed one)
