[svk-devel] Stumped! Can't detach broken mirror... still no solution

I'll finally add that I installed svk (version v2.0.2 (using  
Subversion bindings 1.4.4)) and svn 1.4.4 on a completely different  
machine, copied over the repository and tried to access it there and  
got the same reslt. This tells me that its in the svn repo somewhere  
that this is happening because thats the only thing I brought over to  
the new machine.

thanks again,
Mark
