SVN - Dump Filtering

So, we've got a folder inside of our main repository that we're looking to move out of there and into its own repository. Let's say it's... MyProject\trunk\Tools\OurTools\ ...and I've been able to filter this using svndumpfilter; however, whenever I go to load the filtered dump file into a test repository, I end up getting an E160013 file not found error.

It's complaining that it can't find a csproj file in a branch (e.g. MyProject\branches\branch1\Tools\OurTools\Tool1\tool1.csproj). So, I included the base folder for that branch (e.g. MyProject\branches\branch1\Tools\OurTools\) in a new filtered dump. However, I still run into the same error. To make sure that my filter was correct, I created a new filtered dump that just had the branch filter in the include argument, and I did get data. Although, I didn't load it to check that it's exactly what I need.

At this point, I'm pretty stumped as to what I could be doing wrong. I've exhausted just about every Google search link, so I was wondering if I could find someone that knows far more about SVN than me!

I was able to cheat and get around the error. Essentially, I just created a new dump that started at the revision after the one that was causing all the problems, and filtered that one. It's really not the solution that I'm looking for, but we do get to keep the latest revisions, which is what we really care about. :\
