svndumpfilter woes

Hello,

I've been trying to move my subversion repository from one PC to another.
However I stupidly committed lots of binaries to the repo and now it's got
a bit out of control. My solution was to use svndumpfilter to drop the
binary files, but this doesn't seem to work for me. It's a problem since
trying to load the dump in the new repo is failing on some binary files so
I can't load the repo at all. However I can't see, to get svndumpfilter to
actually work. This is the syntax I'm using on Windows all of the example
I've seen so far are on Linux.

svndumpfilter exclude --pattern "*.ncb" < orignal_dmp.fil > filtered_dmp.fil

The files are in there but I just end up with an exact copy of the original
repo and no console notification of anything being dropped. Am I missing
something here?

Cheers,
Ian
