Newbie questions

Hi,
 
I`m using Subclipse 0.9.27 as the "Product Configuration" says (downloaded
the newest version some days ago via Eclipse->help->software updates). Also
using eclipse 3.0.1 on an ubuntu linux. I have some strange error messages
and some questions.Let me share my user experience with subclipse. Our
repository lives at http://localhost/repos/ourproject
<http://localhost/repos/ourproject> .
 
First I've created a project, and compiled it. I clicked on Team->Share
Project..., then chose SVN. As Url, I gave
http://localhost/repos/ourproject/developers/budayg/java/abc/trunk
<http://localhost/repos/ourproject/developers/budayg/java/abc/trunk>
thinking that my project "abc" should live there. As Root url, I set
http://localhost/repos/ourproject <http://localhost/repos/ourproject> . Then
came the question of specifying module name. I wondered why should I give
one. I gave the place as the Url, and I don't want to create extra
directories under it. Am I thinking wrong?
 
But OK, let's give a module name, "abc". Then clicking on Finish, Subclipse
said

Error while creating module
 
org.tigris.subversion.svnclientadapter.commandline.CmdLineException: svn:
PROPFIND request failed on
'/repos/ourproject/developers/budayg/java/abc/trunk'
 
svn: '/repos/ourproject/developers/budayg/java/abc/trunk' path not found
---
 
As an obvious hack, I've created abc and trunk subdirectories. My comment to
this is: yes, I can create these directories manually, but wouldn't it be
nice if Subclipse did it automatically?
 
Now I got

In spite of the error messages, it created the "abc" directory that is to
store the module:
 
$ svn update
A  abc/trunk/abc
Updated to revision 38.
Did it miss something important?
 
Then I used Team->Add to Version Control on
com/ourcompany/ourproject/Main.java without further ado.
 
Upon trying Team->Commit on com/ourcompany/ourproject/Main.java, I got

In spite of this error message, command-line subversion said:
 
budayg@pc:~/projects/ourproject/developers/budayg/java
<mailto:budayg@pc:~/projects/ourproject/developers/budayg/java>  $ svn
update
A  abc/trunk/abc/com
A  abc/trunk/abc/com/ourcompany
A  abc/trunk/abc/com/ourcompany/ourproject
A  abc/trunk/abc/com/ourcompany/ourproject/Main.java
Updated to revision 39.
So the commit _did_ happen. What did _not_ happen the error message refers
to?
 
I accept that Subclipse is very much under development, but I'm a bit
reluctant to rely on it in my job in the face of these errors. Am I wrong?
