Oh, my. Stop right there. Remember how svnrdump didn't work? Now you're adding another peoblem, picking and choosing individual components with svndump. Do a test svnadmin dump, and reload of everything to a new repo, *first*. This helps eliminate confusion and verifies that the basic process is workable. *Then* consider optimizing. Dump from the *new* repo, with the latest tools, and see if picking and choosing works there. And in general, avoid picking and choosing with svnadmin dump: it's never worked that well if components were moved among various target directories, if "trunk" directories got renamed or re-arranged, etc. Frankly, also, if you're planning on re-arranging the material and putting up a pruned repository, why are you bothering with dumps? Why not save yourself some grief, lock the original content in a final tag, do an export and import, and start with a completely clean new history?
