Yes, I'm referring to db/* files.

Good News: Recreating the db/current file worked in that it allowed 'svnadmin
dump' to run.
Bad News: However, it seems that I have bigger issues:
* Dumped revision 109662.
svnadmin: E720002: Can't open file 'devel_copy\db\revprops\109663': The
system cannot find the file specified.
When I sort the files in db/revs numerically, I see gaps in the revs:
109661
109662
109668
109734
...
109735
157939
157940
157941
159433
159607
160600
160601
162409
And 'ls | wc -l' in dev/revs shows that there are 141,768 files, but the
highest rev in db/revs is 162409...
*sigh* I guess I can try piecemeal dumps.
Thanks for the help everyone, but I'm thinking my missing db/current file is a
symptom of the repo being mangled (probably due to inadequate backup procedures
or a bad restore from tape. Rev 1 is from 2006, and the repo was just around
for reference so no real worries.)
