svnadmin hotcopy doesn't like UNC paths on WinXP

I wanted to set up a scheduled job to copy my subversion repository to
a network server that is regularly backed up (this gives me a easily
accessible copy on the other server and the tape backup). I issued the
command: (Subversion 1.1.0)

>svnadmin hotcopy path_to_repo
\\MyServer\MyShare1\MyShare2\MyBackupFolder

The response was:

svn: Can't create directory
'/MyServer/MyShare1/MyShare2/MyBackupFolder': The system cannont find
the path specified.

If I map MyShare1 to a drive letter (R:) and do:

>svnadmin hotcopy path_to_repo R:\MyShare2\MyBackupFolder

everything works fine.

Are there any plans to have better support for UNC paths? I haven't
bothered to check other commands, but I extrapolated from the above
experience that UNC paths are generally going to cause problems with
the current version.
