Here is your problem. There is something in rev 2573 that is a copy of
something at revision 1926, which is outside of your dump window. Thus
Subversion won't have any file to copy when it comes to `svnadmin load` this
file. This will cause a fatal error when loading.

This is a direct consequence of Subversion's "cheap copy" design. Perhaps if
you described what you hoped to actually accomplish, rather than deciding a
priori how you want to accomplish it, we could give you better advice...
