Had the same access denied trouble. My problem was a syntax issue.

Resolved by specifying the exact repository name that I wanted to back up, as well as defining a name and extension for the backup file to be created:

svnadmin dump f:\repositories\clients > g:\subversion\clients_repository.bak

I automated the process of backing up multiple repositories on a linux server. Get the script: http://www.hildoersystems.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=122:backup-a-subversion-svn-repository-with-this-free-script&catid=52:system-administration&Itemid=74

Thanks for the tip, I restored it and now all the update tracks are there. But the problem is I’m unable to see my directory structure or anything. How can I see that?
