Then you didn't get the same file permissions and didn't import any modified pre-commit, post-commit, or other such scripts. I suspect the file permissions, especially if you did the "svnadmin load" as a root user and didn't set "apache" write permissions for the repository itself. Do some "ls --al" checks of the permissions on your old repo, and review the Apache configurations or svnserve or svn+ssh settings, however you provide access.
