[Subclipse-users] Unable to add a repository on the local file system...

This is my first post to the list, so I want to introduce myself. I am using
Eclipse for Java development on Linux. I'm rather new to Linux and
to Subversion, but I've been using Eclipse for a while now.

I've sucessfully intsalled Subversion and Subclipse on my Linux box, but I'm
having a problem when I try to add a SVN repository on my local filesystem.
Here is the error message that I am receiving:

error validating location: "org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException:
svn: '/pathtolocalrepository/myrepository/' does not exist.

Keep location anyway?

I have already created the repository on my file system using svnadmin, and
I can sucessfully connect to it using another svnclient, RapidSVN, with the
same URL I'm trying to use in Subclipse. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong,
and how I would fix this problem? (The Linux user I am using to access the
repository from Eclipse does not have write access to the directory where
the repository is located. Does this matter?)

Thanks,

The Sunburned Surveyor

P.S. - I'm running Eclipse 3.1.1 on Debian Sarge, and I installed the latest
stable version of Subclipse.
