Subversion clent looking for "format" in wrong place?

I'm pretty sure I must be doing something really stupid. I have server running SVN 1.6.0 that all of our developers access via SVN+SSH. That server works just fine, no complaints whatsoever. So, now I'm tasked with migrating the repositories to a new SVN server. While I was at it, I figured I'd upgrade to the latest SVN version too. So, I have a new server running SVN 1.6.6. I've copied all my repositories over to the new server. However, when I try to do a checkout, I get the following error message.

# svn co svn+ssh://my_svn_server/abcd/trunk abcd
svn: Can't open file '/mnt/fs/repositories/abcd/trunk/format': Permission denied

Now, AFAIK, the server shouldn't have a directory named branches inside of "/mnt/fs/repositories/abcd". There is a file named format in "/mnt/fs/repositories/abcd" which is what I think it should be looking for. Just for kicks and giggles, I tried...

# svn co svn+ssh://my_svn_server/abcd abcd

And that generates this error message...

svn: Can't open file '/mnt/fs/repositories/abcd/format': Permission denied

Now, maybe this is just a simple permissions issue, but the first error message leads me to believe that it is trying to access directories and files on the server that don't exist. Any ideas?
