Windows svnadmin hotcopy can't find format

We just installed svnserve on Windows Server 2003. I copied my
repositories from my local machine to the server. I am able to checkout
my code to a blank test folder using TortoiseSVN and the svn:// syntax.

 

My repos are stored here (there are about a dozen):

E:\Subversion\Repositories

 

I'd like to back them up using hotcopy to here:

E:\Subversion\Backups

 

However, when I try using hotcopy I get the following error:

E:\>svnadmin hotcopy E:\Subversion\Repositories\ E:\Subversion\Backup\

svnadmin: Can't open file 'format': The system cannot find the file
specified

 

Why is svnadmin trying to find format in the root directory and not just
backing up each repository?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!
