Start a one shard cluster and run mongodump -repair. The error is that the repairCursor does not exist on mongos, but the error message says that -repair cannot be used on mongo version before 2.7.8.
The repairCursor is not implemented for mongos (which is OK), but it should return a helpful error message saying so.
