At present svn:externals must be absolute paths. There has been a patch
submitted to allow relative paths, but as far as I know it hasn't yet
been checked in - it's certainly not in 1.1.
BTW You don't need to create the directory in the loop - the checkout of
the svn:externals will create it for you. In fact if you create the
directory, the checkout of the external will fail because the directory
you created is in the way.
