You need to make sure the version of the repos in the new location is
IDENTICAL to the old one, including the UUID. If you are doing the
move via a dump/load, that means using the --force-uuid flag to
svnadmin load when loading into your new (empty) repository on the new
machine. If you're loading your data into an existing repository
(which by definition has a different UUID) you CANNOT migrate working
copies via switch --relocate, it simply will not work.
