I'm not sure if this is what you were expecting or not, but just to be clear,
I don't think import should recreate the tree of the second argument in the
repository. Expanding on your other example:

$ svn import file:///path/to/repos graphics/bsp

would import ./graphics/bsp/* into the repository root. If you had
graphics/bsp/readme.txt, it would end up as file:///path/to/repos/readme.txt.
That's not the same as:

$ svn import file:///path/to/repos/graphics/bsp graphics/bsp

If you expect the results of the latter when specifying the former, then
consider if the second argument were not relative to the current working
directory, or if it began with "..". Import couldn't very well create files
under ".." of the repository root.
