I dumped the revision using svn 1.6.1, and the dumpfile looked exactly as your test dumpfile. I then went and dumped/reloaded the repo with svn 1.4.2, and the svnsync was able to get past the previously erring revision. I bet that the DEMO repo that I was using was created with 1.3.x, and hadn't been dumped/reloaded with 1.4.x, which must have been causing the svnsync issue.

Thank you very much for your help.
