Sorry, I'm a fool. Let me retract my last mail. :-)

If you have a brand-new r2093 svnadmin that's built shared, the shared
libsvn_fs won't be able to read your old repository!

So yes, you need to create the dumpfile using an "old" svnadmin binary
(built statically), or do it before upgrading to r2093.

Sorry for the confusion.
