How to use svn:externals...

(sending again, as it seems to have gotten lost in the aether..)

I'm on MacOSX, running svn 1.1.1, and I want to set it up so that when
someone checks out a project, that one of the directories they check out
will trigger a checkout of that same directory from a different project.

I thought that would be something like:

svn co svn+ssh://server/path/to/repos/trunk .
svn mkdir mkfiles
svn propset svn:externals mkfiles
svn+ssh://server/path/to/other/repos/trunk/src/mkfiles

But this gets me:

svn: Setting property on non-local target
'svn+ssh://sauce/svn/finance/trunk/src/mkfiles' not yet supported

Help? :-/ What am I doing wrong? The documentation is very unclear on
this subject :-/

Thanks again in advance..

Best,
--Glenn
