The problem is that you're trying to check out different repositories into
the same directory, . in this case. Subversion won't let you do that,
because after the first checkout is done, . is a working copy.

This would work (you don't need 'HEAD' - Subversion gets the latest code
by default)

$ svn co svn+ssh://reposerver/svn/One/trunk/ workingCopyOne
$ svn co svn+ssh://reposerver/svn/Two/trunk/ workingCopyTwo
$ svn co svn+ssh://reposerver/svn/Three/trunk/ workingCopyThree

Now this still probably doesn't achieve what you want, since you'll have
three directories on the client. What might work better is to create a new
project in your repository which pulls in items from the other
repositories using svn:externals. There's more in the book here:

Another thing you might consider is using just one repository - why do you
feel you need three separate repositories?

Cheers,
Mike.
