I think this might be a problem with the distribution.  svndbadmin has a
global variable CONF_PATHNAME that is tweaked by the ViewVC install script
to point to the correct viewvc.conf location:

$ grep 'CONF_PATHNAME =' /usr/local/viewvc-1.2-dev/bin/svndbadmin
CONF_PATHNAME = r"/usr/local/viewvc-1.2-dev/viewvc.conf"
$

Package maintainers should be modifying that value in the same way they
would modify it in viewvc.cgi, query.cgi, standalone.py, and so on.

What does yours have?
