Ah, so both repositories contain the directory "branches" (and
probably the directories "tags" and "trunk" as well, yes?)
So you should be loading each repository into a subdirectory of the
destination repository instead. Look into the --parent-dir option to
svnadmin load. Note that you will need to "svn mkdir" the directory
in question before you can load anything into it with the --parent-
dir option.

You don't have to start over if you don't want to; just use the --
parent-dir option.
