Create Repository Failure

I am having trouble getting a repository created. Just started using
subversion for win2000 and get errors saying;

svnadmin create /path/to/repos
svnadmin: Repository creation failed
svnadmin: Could not create top-level directory
svnadmin: can't create directory '\path\to\repos': The system cannot fine
the path specified.

I have created directory /path/to in order to follow the quick start
section as closely as possible but still get this error.
