FYI, to make sure it is not a problem on my side, I got a new svnsyc'ed copy of
the full repository and tried this again.
It failed with exactly the same problem.

Yes, I'm using Hg 1.0.1 together with ActivePython 2.5.2.2 and the SVN 1.4.6
bindings under Windows XP SP2.

Using version 1.0.1, apparently?

Adding pmezard to the nosy list.

I'm getting an error about a non-existent URL, when trying to convert the large
ReactOS SVN Repository to Mercurial. See the attached log for more details.
I'm using the command:

  hg convert -s svn --debug "file:///D|/Subversion/reactos" reactos

D:\Subversion\reactos is my svnsyc'ed copy of svn://svn.reactos.org/reactos.

In fact, the URL in the error message doesn't exist in revision 1904. It was
still "file:///D|/Subversion/reactos/trunk/freeldr/freeldr" at that time and
moved to the new URL in revision 12672.
Unfortunately, I also didn't find out, at which revision this problem started.
If I just convert with --rev=12672 or --rev=12673, the conversion runs successfully.
