How to retrieve the content of a "deleted" file

Hi,

I'm not able to access the content of a file at a specific revision
with the "svn cat" command, as this file has been deleted since (in a
revision greater than the revision I will to access)

I was using subversion 1.1 (both client and server, based on Apache
2.0.54), and I migrated from 1.1 to 1.2.3 (client and server). To
migrate, I've performed a dump + load into a brand new repository, but
I still can't get the content of a "deleted" file, so I guess I
missing an important point. Current revision (HEAD) of the repository
is 67.

I'd like to get the content of a file which has been added in release
59 and deleted in release 62 (to be exact, the file has been moved to
the same directory, with another name):

svn log -q -v -r 59 http://10.129.123.78/svn/project/trunk/src/dyntest/scripts
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r59 | blote | 2005-09-08 20:28:40 +0200 (Thu, 08 Sep 2005)
Changed paths:
  A /trunk/src/dyntest/scripts/errors.dtf
------------------------------------------------------------------------

svn log -q -v -r 62 http://10.129.123.78/svn/project/trunk/src/dyntest/scripts
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r62 | blote | 2005-09-09 18:33:17 +0200 (Fri, 09 Sep 2005)
Changed paths:
  D /trunk/src/dyntest/scripts/errors.dtf
  A /trunk/src/dyntest/scripts/rc.dtf (from
/trunk/src/dyntest/scripts/errors.dtf:59)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

svn list -r 61 http://10.129.123.78/svn/project/trunk/src/dyntest/scripts
dzoom0976.dtf
errors.dtf
info.dtf

svn list -r 62 http://10.129.123.78/svn/project/trunk/src/dyntest/scripts
dzoom0976.dtf
info.dtf

I though I could get the content of this file using the following command:

svn cat -r 59 http://10.129.123.78/svn/project/trunk/src/dyntest/scripts/errors.dtf

However, I get the following error (that I don't understand):

svn: REPORT request failed on
'/svn/project/!svn/bc/67/trunk/src/dyntest/scripts/errors.dtf'
svn: '/svn/project/!svn/bc/67/trunk/src/dyntest/scripts/errors.dtf'
path not found

Whatever the "rev" value set to the -r option (svn cat -r 59, -r 60,
-r61 .. whatever), I always get the same error message, with always
the HEAD revision (67) in the path.

What should I miss, how can I obtain the content of this file ?

I should say that I'm using Trac, and that the Trac browser is able to
access the content of the file at revision 59 with no issue.

I'm also able to check out the repository for this revision, and
obtain the file without any issue:

svn co -r 59 http://10.129.123.78/svn/project/trunk/src/dyntest/scripts
A scripts/info.dtf
A scripts/errors.dtf
A scripts/dzoom0976.dtf

May be I mis-use the svn tool ?

TIA,
Cheers
