Few things which you might like to try:

1) What ever you use for transfering the dump file, generate a md5sum
   of dump file immidiately after dump, and validate it just before
   the load. This way you know that your split, gunzip, winzip et. al
   work.

2) Do you have a change to try to load the dump file on the original
   machine to the test repository? Does it work?

3) What if you dump/load your repository in several pieces, does this make
   any difference?

   svn dump -r0:X repo > repo-0_x.dump
   svn dump --incremental -rX+1:Y > repo-x+1_y.dump
   etc.
