Invalid copy source path

Hi,
 
I had this error message while doing the svndumpfilter command. I looked everywhere on the web and found no workaround for this problem. So I've tried many things to get the work done. Maybe the following solution is obvious to experts but I decided to post it anyway because I found a workaround at least for my case.
 
This is what I wanted to do :
 
$ svnadmin dump <repository> > dumpfile
$ svndumpfilter include bash < dumpfile > bash-dumpfile
 
where bash was the project I wanted to include in my new dumpfile.
 
I got the following error after issuing svndumpfilter command :
  Invalid copy source path
 
What I did is issuing the reverse svndumpfilter command :
 
$ svndumpfilter exculde <every/projects/except/bash> < dumpfile > bash-dumpfile
 
Hope this could save time to some of you.
