Hard to make much of that. Can you post the full and exact error message (you
can ommit paths just don't ommit error codes and exact phrasing of the error
messages)?
Also it would probably be helpful to provide an exact version of Subversion
that you're using.
The one concern I do have is it sounds like you were putting the repo on a
network file share and then using ra_local (file:///) to access it. I wouldn't
recommend that. If you want to allow network access to the repository I'd
suggest using one of our server processes.

FSFS repos don't get wedged, is this a BDB repo?
Biggest suggestion I can make is make sure you are working off a copy of the
repo and not your only copy.
