Cannot create repository after 1.6 upg

(Windows XP SVN 1.6 with latest Tortoise)

As well as other problems such as BDB parts of my repository now not accessible - even using the svn: method - I cannot now even create a new repository. The message reads "...may sure the folder is empty and not write protected"

Well the folder is empty and not write protected. 

IMHO SVN 1.6.0 is broken somewhere as I have never had so many problems with a new release.

As SVN 1.6 upgraded my files automatically, I cannot easily go back to 1.5 now either.

If your question is specific to TortoiseSVN, please ask on the  
TortoiseSVN mailing list. Otherwise, please try using the "svn" and  
"svnadmin" command line utilities that are part of Subversion proper,  
and show us exactly what commands you typed and exactly what output  
they produced. I am almost certain you are not getting a message that  
says "may sure".

I am not having any problem creating repositories or using Subversion  
in any other way on Mac OS X, and I haven't heard such complaints  
from anyone else on the list either, so I suspect something is  
special about your system, and this is not a general problem in  
Subversion.

Subversion does upgrade working copies automatically for new versions  
of Subversion, but does not upgrade repositories automatically. So if  
you want to go back to Subversion 1.5, you only have to remove any  
working copies that were automatically upgraded and check them out  
from the repository again.
