That's not much of a description of what you have or what you've done.
Can you provide some more details about the platforms and versions
involved. For one thing, an 'import' doesn't make much sense in the
context of 2 repositories, and neither does an error message about a
too-new repository from what you think is a newer program. In any
case, I'd try to svnadmin dump the old copy of the repo. If that
works you can follow the standard instructions. If not, try to
restore your old version of svnadmin - but from your error message
above, I think you may already be confused about what versions you
have installed and running.
