Your code is wrong. You have to canonicalize URLs and paths
before passing them into the SVN API.

Something like the following might work better (untested):

require SVN::Core;
require SVN::Ra;

my $url = SVN::Core->svn_uri_canonicalize('file:///home/bwalton/opencsw/git/trunk/work/solaris9-sparc/build-isa-sparcv8/git-1.7.7.1/t/trash [^] directory.t9134-git-svn-ignore-paths/svnrepo')
$s = SVN::Ra->new($url);
