What is the error you received? It's highly unlikely this would be due 
to your svnadmin command so it must be a problem with the dumpfile.

The dumpfile is mostly human-readable but getting that particular 
revision out of a 30GB database could be tricky. Depending on the tools 
you have available on your platform, searching for a line which begins 
with "Revision-number: 17770" will get you close.
