Before that the repository was hosted on another WinXP system with an earlier version of the Subversion server. I only added the call to verify the hot copy to the backup script recently so I do not know if the problem ever occurred with the repository on the other system. I'd be interested to know if svnadmin employs some memory buffer to hot-copy. The offsets where data corruption starts look like multiples of 0x1000 which is 4K. The NTFS cluster size on the disk is exactly 4K. If svnadmin just calls the OS to copy each file the problem should either be in the OS or the disk.
