Revision 3186 was committed successfully. It was a delete of a folder. The
next revision, 3187 is the one that failed, it is just a normal bunch of
modified files.

I cannot re-run the svnadmin load, because at this point, the repository has
already been created, and svnadmin load expects an empty repository. I wish
I could start the load from a specific revision, but I don't see a way to do
that. Is there?
