When you use "SVNParentPath /var/svnroot" you are informing
Subversion that you would like to host multiple repositories under
that directory. Each repository must be created with "svnadmin
create" before it can be used. You created a repository called
"dummy" and were able to access it just fine. You should be able to
import into it too. You were not able to import into the "test"
repository because it doesn't sound like you ever "svnadmin create"d
a test repository.
If you would prefer to have just a single repository, then you would
use "SVNPath /var/svnroot" and you would "svnadmin create" just the
single repository /var/svnroot.
