svn URL question

Hi,

I have a question about Subversion URLs. I started a Subversion server as
svnserve -d -r C:\MyDir\SvnTrial --listen-port=9001 on a Windows XP machine.

From the same machine I would like to run the status command

svn status svn://localhost:9001/

Gets me the error message

svn: Can't check path 'svn:\\localhost:9001': The filename, directory name,
or volume label syntax is incorrect.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,
