Is this a verbatim copy of the error or is this for various values of
#FILENAME#?

Wait: Why are you importing anything there? When migrating servers, I'd use
the following steps:
1. Create dumpfiles on the old machine (this is part of the daily backup,
actually) and save the configuration (conf/ subdir of the repository).
2. If the SVN versions are similar, copy the repository to the new machine.
Otherwise, load the dumpfile into an empty repository and restore the
configuration.
3. If the machine's hostname/IP isn't the same as the old one, convert working
copies using "svn switch --relocate".

Of course, importing can be part of the normal workflow, too, but then I'd
wonder if other operations on the new repository work, i.e. if it is only
imports that fail.

Actually, I'm still not sure what exactly you did and on what machines. One
additional way to circle in the problem would be to access the repository
using direct file:// access.

I'm not running Apache here, but I seem to remember some kind of timeout there
from a recent discussion. Obviously, using a large file or a slow connection
it needs more time and thus also takes you closer to that timeout.
