It sounds like the files and/or directories in /usr/local/svn/tsakai
are not owned by you, hence permission denied. Change their ownership
to you, or if this repository is for more than just testing out
Subversion's functionality, then set up svnserve or apache and change
the ownership of the files to the user you run svnserve or apache as.

svnadmin needs to be pointed at the repository directory, not its db
subdirectory, so if you want to list the locks and transactions, you
need
svnadmin lslocks /usr/local/svn/tsakai
and
svnadmin lstxns /usr/local/svn/tsakai

You are already using the Apache Portable Runtime library. It is not
possible to use Subversion without it. It has nothing to do with using
the Apache Web Server, which is of course optional.

Do you have SASL installed? What version? How was it installed?

It means you have the command line client, and it crashes when you try
to use it. That should not happen, of course. My first suggestion
would be to investigate the SASL problem you already found.
