We wrote a batch file to run svn backups for all repositories under our
svn root via the dump option, and then to pass them through 7-Zip,
compress them, and move them to another location. This has been working
really well. I have attached the script and a related script to kill
files by date so we keep only a certain number of daily backups.

No, no problem. Other than what you said: inefficiency and temporary
unavailablity of the repository. Why not just run 'svnadmin hotcopy'
while the repository is live? Why bother shutting down all access?
