Converting repos over to SVN 1.4 - odd error

I ran a test conversion on a local repository that I had set up for
prior tests.  I downloaded and built the new Subversion release.

Before installing the new Subversion release I did a dump of my existing repos:

  svnadmin dump /var/lib/svn > svndump.svn

I then moved /var/lib/svn to another location

   mv /var/lib/svn /var/lib/svn_keep

I upgraded to the new Subversion that I just built

Using the newly installed Subversion 1.4, I created a new repository.

  svnadmin create /var/lib/svn

I loaded the dumped file into the newly created one

  svnadmin load /var/lib/svn < svndump.svn

I then adjusted permissions

  chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/svn
  chmod -R g+ws /var/lib/svn

Problem:

If I point my browser to http://localhost/svn, I always get this error now:

<D:error>
<C:error/>
<m:human-readable errcode="2">
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
</m:human-readable>
</D:error


If I point my browser to http://localhost/websvn, I can browse the
repository fine.


Any help much appreciated.

I thinnk I have a better handle of the problem.  The apache2 error log says:

[Tue Sep 12 07:23:52 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (20014)Error
string not specified yet: Expected format '3' of repository; found
format '5'
[Tue Sep 12 07:23:52 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Could not fetch
resource information.  [500, #0]
[Tue Sep 12 07:23:52 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Could not open
the requested SVN filesystem  [500, #165005]
[Tue Sep 12 07:23:52 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Could not open
the requested SVN filesystem  [500, #165005]


This is the clue. My mod_dav_svn is using a different libsvn_fs  than
what was used to create the repository in the install process.  So I
will have to rebuild mod_dav_svn with the same libsvn_fs.

These were my build options:

./configure --with-openssl --with-ssl --with-zlib

I already had Apache2 installed and my previous version of Subversion was 1.3.2
