It sounds like you are doing everything right.  If "svnadmin load"
completes successfully and doesn't emit any error messages, then you
don't even have to consider the earlier steps because the "svnadmin
load" step is necessarily broken.

Did you create the SVN repository first using "svnadmin create"?

Why don't you take a baby dumpfile from one of these small repository
conversions and try to "svnadmin load" it at your server using the exact
same command line?  It should be a lot quicker to test, and once that
works then probably loading the full repo will work too.
