sorry don't know enough to debug it.

it's hanging with state I or S and that means it's idle/sleeping. It
produces no output for several minutes.

I have checked that there appear to be no files with wrong ownership,
but I'm not really sure what the permissions should be. The owner/group
is www www so I am using sudo -u www to execute the svnadmin commands.

the recover command also hangs.

  I solved this after a while when I noticed three viewcvs.cgi processes 
which didn't seem to be doing anything. Even though I had terminated 
apache (our normal access method) it seemed that viewcvs was somehow 
preventing access to the db.

After killing these I was able to do a recover normally.
