Wrong. This creates a repository in /usr/local/subversion and two repositories
in subdirs of the directory that is created as part of the repository. Except
for the few documented cases(config,logs), you should not mess with anything
inside the directory.

I assume you either want two repositories:
  mkdir /usr/local/subversion
  svnadmin create /usr/local/subversion/systems
  svnadmin create /usr/local/subversion/networks
or you want two dirs inside a repository:
  svnadmin create /usr/local/subversion
  svn mkdir file:///usr/local/subversion/system
  svn mkdir file:///usr/local/subversion/networks
(not sure of the syntax of the 'svn mkdir ...' though).

I fear this will cause problems, the repositories should be owned by the user
running the apache, AFAIR. I'm not sure though.
