adding a new repository to eclipse?

I have recently installed subversion for the first time. I installed subersion 1.0.0 on windows XP, using the standard installation file.

I then installed subclipse 0.9.0 by extracting it into the parent directory of eclipse 3.0 M7.

When I restarted eclipse, the SVN Repository showed up, so I decided to try and create a new repository location.

In the 'Add SVN Repository' dialog, I tried typing 'file:///subersion/repo', which results in the error:

Error validating location: "org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException:
Couldn't open a repository
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///subversion/repository'
"
Keep location anyway? Y / N

So, next I tried running 'svnadmin create c:\subversion\repository' from the command line and this completed successfully.

Now, if I try to repeat adding the same repository in eclipse, I get the message 'The specified repository location already exists'.

Can someone please shed some light on what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,
