I'm trying to learn the svn tool a little bit better

I dumped our main repository (from our team) via the svnrdump > outfile.dump this worked

but if i try to import it into another server i get

svnrdump: E170001: Authorization failed

The server is running on a linux VM (inside virtualbox) i create there with svnadmin a empty repository.. and as far as i understand it, I enabled anonymous accesss (its only on the local machine, so no auth should be necassery)

I searched the web for some hints, but I only found issues regarding Windows user rights and I'm running a Linux machine (linuxmint and SVN 1.7.10)

any hints?

Obviously - not

Anyway, you can (and must really) to use for load data into locally-reachable repository (you have access to FS of repo-host) old good local svnadmin load, which ignore all and any access-restriction as admin-tool

svnrdump load requires you to authenticate and you should have Read / Write access to the repository. The error you get means that you lack access permissions to the repository. Check access permissions for your user account.

See "Repository data migration using svnrdump".

The primary difference [from svnadmin dump] is that instead of requiring direct access to the repository, svnrdump operates remotely, using the very same Repository Access (RA) protocols that the Subversion client does. As such, you might need to provide authentication credentials. Also, your remote interactions are subject to any authorization limitations configured on the Subversion server.
