[TSVN] Local repository -> svnserve?

I've been using TortoiseSVN with a local repository for a while now, and
all has been fine. I now need to migrate to an svnserve repository
(using fsfs), but I can't quite see how to get the data across safely.

The Import menu option takes the current WC and makes it rev 1, losing
all previous revisions (and causing duplicate revs in the bug tracking
database - not good!)

The Subversion book suggests using svnadmin dump - problem is, this
merely complains that it can't find the file <repos>\format. Looking at
the target repository, the file seems to contain a number indicating the
repository format, but that doesn't work either - putting 3 leaves it
trying to look for db lockfiles, which obviously don't exist as I wasn't
using a DB :) Any other value just leaves it complaining that it was
expecting version '3' of the repository.

I'm stumped here. I can't carry on working with a local repository, but
losing all the revisions I have so far and declaring the current state
of play as revision 1 is not an option either. Is there something I've
missed?

Thanks
