svn: Can't get exclusive lock on file 'XXX/rev-lock': Invalid argument

On the client:

gandalf@saturnus:~/Python/Projects/AnyPrinter$ svn commit -m ""
Sending        start.sh
Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Can't get exclusive lock on file 
'/usr/local/repositories/db/transactions/663-1.txn/rev-lock': Invalid 
argument

NOTE: the /usr/local/repositories/db/transactions/ directory is empty on 
the server, I do not wonder that it could not lock it...

On the server:

shopzeus# whoami
root
shopzeus# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svnserve stop
Stopping svnserve.
shopzeus# su svn
%cd /usr/local/repositories/
%ls
README.txt      conf            dav             db              
format          hooks           locks
%svnadmin recover .
Repository lock acquired.
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...
svnadmin: Can't get exclusive lock on file 'db/write-lock': Invalid argument


What the hell is going on here? Please help me fixing this!
