I have an svn dump file which includes the name of the repository in all the paths. i.e repo/trunk repo/branches repo/tags I am using the dump file to recreate the repo on another server, but I need to remove "repo" from the path otherwise I get an error when I am trying to load.
The svn documentation online says to hand edit the file but when I do that I get checksum errors during loading. There must be a better way to do this?

The dump does not include the name of the repository. It should include only paths that this repository contains. I guess that this is not the repo's name, but a name of the project.

You could svn move the parent dir to the root of the new repository after loading the dump. The command should be as follows:
svn move FROM-URL TO-URL -m "ENTER LOG MESSAGE"
PS Modifying dump files manually is possible and should work. However, this is a non-trivial task and I'd recommend that you avoid it unless you have some special case.
