Ok I fixed it. I had to do this...

REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"
#Incremental dump after each commit
SVNADMIN=/usr/local/bin/svnadmin
DUMPFILE=/some_path/mycode-incr.$REV
$SVNADMIN dump $REPOS --revision $REV --incremental > $DUMPFILE

Apparently the scripts did not parse (design-intent) the
space before the "dump" in my original definition of
INCRDUMP=/usr/local/bin/svnadmin dump
