Ok, I should have been more specific:
"Use a series of *svn mkdir* and *svn mv* operations..."

No, it would not work. There are several syntax errors in the commands, plus
you are creating a nasty muddle by using the directory /usr/local/etc2 for 2
seperate purposes at different points in the recipe.

I don't understand why you seem to think you need to use svnadmin dump/load
at all. You don't - unless you are *also* trying to insert a
trunk,tags,branches directory layer into your repository, at the same time
as refactoring the layout of your config files from an arbitrary layout to
an etc-like layout? In which case, don't over-complicate things, do one at a
time!
