If you dump your repository, filter out part of it, then load it into a new repository, that new repository MUST have a new UUID, since it is not the same repository anymore (it's missing parts). Therefore, you CANNOT "svn switch --relocate"; instead you MUST discard existing working copies and check out new ones.
