If it is, it's a mighty peculiar one:

    (1) We have many other files & directories (including all of
        our user areas) and nothing else is coming up with errors

    (2) These different svn repositories are in widely disparate
        locations under our directory trees, yet all are giving
        similar errors.

One thing that didn't stand out in my original Email was the reason
for the reboot. We turned quotas on. Would svn react poorly
to this?

It is a generic linux box. However doing dmesg before and
after generating an svn error doesn't show anything new.
