Exporting the changes won't work, since when you check out with the new
version, that new version errors out on old wcs.
But try this:
* create a patch for all wcs where you have local modifications
This may be bit problem for WC with lot of externals
* rename those wcs to *_old
* install the nightly build
* check out all wcs again
* apply the patches to the new wcs

I would keep svn.exe(pre-one-DB-version from full nightbuild)(named svn-1.7a.exe) for upgrade purpose. So I would be able to export even after upgrade. Anyway xcopy seems be better way as is preserve binary and even no revisioned files.
Way to upgrage would then be something like:

Rem eventualy can be taken from for
Set WC=wcdir
Rem can be taken from svn-17a info %WC%
Set URL=http://...

Echo /.svn/ > export_filter

Rem make sure wc is actual
Svn-17a update %WC%
Rem change name of old wc
Ren %WC% %WC%_17a
Rem get actaul wc from repository
Rem if repository is too active can be set for revision, but would work for externals
Svn checkout %WC% %URL%
Rem copy all non svn
Xcopy %WC%_17a %WC% /s /f /y /exclude:export_filter

Not tested.
