transform-prop is for transforming versioned properties; Node-path is not a versioned property; it is an internal detail of the dumpfile format that you don't need to concern yourself with.

I suggest you read the section "Moving things around" under "Some tips" in the svndumptool readme:

http://svn.borg.ch/svndumptool/0.6.1/README.txt

Ok... But using perl is no better than using sed IMHO. perl, like sed, is not designed to deal with dumpfiles; svndumptool is, and knows details of the format that you might not.
