can't use load and dump to go from Win2000 -> WinXP ?

I'm transferring some repositories from a Win2000 server to a Windows XP
server.

(both are up to date with relevant hotfixes / service packs)

Using svn 1.0.6, I can do "svnadmin dump repos > dumpfile" ok.

I can create a new repos and load this dumpfile back in on the win2000
machine.

However, when I copy the dumpfile to the Windows XP machine, I can't load it
into a new repository.

I get:

svnadmin load Volvo < volvo-dump

<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 1

     * adding path : trunk ... done.

------- Committed revision 1 >>>

<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 2

     * adding path : tags ... done.

------- Committed revision 2 >>>

<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 3

     * adding path : branch ... done.

------- Committed revision 3 >>>

<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 4

     * adding path : trunk/S40 ... done.

svn: Found malformed header block in dumpfile stream

Any thoughts? I've tried two different repositories and I get the same
error. Both repositories were almost all binary files of varying size.

I've been able to successfully create a repository and access it, add files,
etc, on the WinXP machine (using svnserve) and I would expect svn should
work just fine on XP.

I copied the file between machines using normal windows (samba) networking,
on a reliable office network that is being successfully used by 30 other
people on a daily basis, so I very much doubt that the dumpfile is being
corrupted in transit.

Apologies if this is a FAQ but I did attempt to search the mailing list
archives, but didn't find anything from 2004... is the search on the tigris
website working?

FYI I have also tried creating and loading the dumpfile using svn 1.1-rc2
but I get exactly the same error.

Many thanks,

Mark
