And unfortunately, it didn't solve my problem. Adding 
--preserve-revprops to svndumpfilter did *half* the magic. svk mirror 
-l still doesn't show the mirrored paths, but if I manually specify a 
path, which I know to be a mirror, to svk sync, it works. This wouldn't 
be too bad if I wasn't a lazy bum: I love svk sync -a, and 
unfortunately, it isn't picking up the imported mirrors.
