I believe you are correct and the book is wrong.

$ svnadmin help load
load: usage: svnadmin load REPOS_PATH

Read a 'dumpfile'-formatted stream from stdin, committing
new revisions into the repository's filesystem. If the repository
was previously empty, its UUID will, by default, be changed to the
one specified in the stream. Progress feedback is sent to stdout.

You should send a message to the authors of the book. See the section
"Feedback/Contributing" about halfway down on:

http://svnbook.org

You could also mention to them that on that page, "svmadin" should be
"svnadmin".
