svn+ssh is used as a method to access the repository.
But AFAIK the target of the checkout command is a path that has
nothing to do with Subversion itself. It's just a path.
So for me it's not surprising that it doesn't work like this.

I think you have to make the target path available for your local
system. I can't image that Subversion can be used like e. g. scp
or something like that. But I'm no expert in this area so maybe
someone else knows better and has a solution for this.
