Unify Multiple Repositories, then switch?

I'm trying to merge multiple Subversion repositories into a single
repository without too much hassle on my users.

I did roughly the following:

> svnadmin dump old_repo> old_repo.dump
> svnadmin load combined_repo --parent-dir old_repo_path< old_repo.dir
> cd old_working_dir
> svn switch http://server/combined_repo_root/old_repo_path
svn: Repository UUID '47910ef9-e52f-470c-a5c0-0a25e3386063' doesn't match expected UUID '4b1b6bb6-f4d7-4649-9891-0302873c425d'

I also tried...

> svn switch --relocate http://server/old_repo_root http://server/combined_repo_root/old_repo_path
svn: The repository at 'http://server/combined_repo_root/old_repo_path
' has uuid '47910ef9-e52f-470c-a5c0-0a25e3386063', but the WC has '4b1b6bb6-f4d7-4649-9891-0302873c425d'

So switch doesn't work the way I expected, and obviously I can't make
multiple old repos share the same repository id. What are my
alternatives to perform the switch?
