Right. Read over this section of the book as well:

Sounds like it might be a permissions problem. Make sure that whatever
user is accessing the repository has read and write access to all the
files in the repository's db subdirectory (and to the directory itself.)

Hi,
if you can still read the repository without any propblems, you could
just make a avn dump of the complete thing and then delete (move) the
actuall repository and then check in the dump. This should completly
solve the Problem (but not the cause ...)
Regards Roland

I wonder where the best place to put a "you should not try to use svn
on OS X with DB 4.0.x" warning message would be. INSTALL? the FAQ?
Should we check at configure-time?

Somebody else might want to pipe in here, but I believe there was a locking
under MacOS X and DB 4.0.X... ah yes, here is a message from gstein in the
archives:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgId=198124
So, I would try to get the database you have up and running enough to do a
dump/load, and recompile subversion (and the necessary dependcies) to use DB
4.1.X.

It appears that Matt Kraai had enough autoconf-fu, since in rev 5692 he
did exactly that. For some reason it didn't catch this case, though.
Was this svn built before 2003-04-21?
Here's an excerpt from configure.in:
case "$host" in
powerpc-apple-darwin*)
# Berkeley DB 4.0 does not work on OS X.
SVN_FS_WANT_DB_MAJOR=4
SVN_FS_WANT_DB_MINOR=1
SVN_FS_WANT_DB_PATCH=25
My only OS X host gets a value of "powerpc-apple-darwin6.6" for $host.
