Changing externals from file: to svn:

Hello All
I have been using svn for about three years now, and have repositories
for several projects all doing there thing, using file: access. Most
repos include some svn_externals, which also have file access
I now need more people to be able to access these repos, and IT have
given me a server with snvserve running.
How do I move my repos, while changing the external property? I have
tried dump/edit path names/load, but (not unnaturally) load detects my
fiddles.
I have tried changing the content-length bits:
Node-path: PSU/Trunk
Node-kind: dir
Node-action: change
Prop-content-length: 191
Content-length: 191

K 13
svn:externals
V 155
FreeRTOS file:///\Lhuk2/Units/Software%20Development/FreeRTOS/Trunk
Drivers
file:///\Lhuk2/Units/Software%20Development/Common%20Code%20AT91/Drivers
/Trunk

PROPS-END
to 
Node-path: PSU/Trunk
Node-kind: dir
Node-action: change
Prop-content-length: 162
Content-length: 162

K 13
svn:externals
V 155
FreeRTOS svn://svnserve/FreeRTOS/Trunk
Drivers
file:///\Lhuk2/Units/Software%20Development/Common%20Code%20AT91/Drivers
/Trunk

PROPS-END
But load still complains
Is there a way I can do what I wish?

Thanks Ryan.

So now I have to get Python installed and understood. (Sigh)
Thanks, Mike

I believe you can use svndumptool to do this fiddling.
