All,
Bob's response had me thinking about this a little more because I was pretty sure that the repo would not be packed by default. So, I went back to the release notes to confirm that this is the case, packing must be called for explicitly. However, while digging a little deeper, I found my issue. The repo I was testing with had less than 1000 commits. I created a new repo and changed the shard directory size to something that would allow packing and again loaded into this new repo. Packing this time was successful.
Regarding the other part of this question, when doing 'svnadmin upgrade' should I expect that to complete without any notification to the console also? If this is the case, what would be the process for filing a feature request to have these commands give some helpful messages?
Thanks everyone for your help.

If you just loaded a dump into the repo then there is nothing to do, it is as compressed as it can be... IIRC.
