I think I know what your problem is.
You probably created a repository under /usr/local/test/apache/htdocs/svn/test/
(using 'svnadmin create'), BUT you did not make any revisions yet !!
This is a sort of a bootstrap issue, that I myself have come across.
To solve this, you must somehow create the first revision. As I remember
correctly, you can't even do a 'checkout' at this stage.
The solution is to do 'svn import', which will be your 1st revision.
For example:
mkdir /my_repos
mkdir /my_repos/trunk
mkdir /my_repos/tags
mkdir /my_repos/branches
svn import /my_repos http://my_repos_url -m "creating initial repository layout."
After this step, you should be able to checkout, etc.
Hope this helps (if not, we'll figure something else to try ..)
Thanks - Gal.
