Are you running the svn import command on the same machine that is
running the subversion server? If you use a file:// url, then you
must be on the same machine, because that is using direct file access,
instead of going through a server process like svnserve or httpd.
The only time I have ever seen this error, is if svn really couldn't
access the repository through the url I provided. Since you have
already created the repository using svnadmin create, you could try
just doing "svn ls repository_url", to see if you can access the
repository.
