svn project creation problems

I'm trying to configure my svn repository but it seems I am completely unable to
create any additional projects without going in directly and manually creating
the directories necessary to get the project underway.

I've followed as many examples and such as I can find and they all end up in
approximately the same spot:

svn import . svn://localhost/
svn: No repository found in 'svn://localhost'

svn import . svn://localhost/testpile
svn: No repository found in 'svn://localhost/testpile'

however:
svn checkout svn://localhost/depot/
works like a charm everytime... So there is something there.

Additionally:
svn import login svn://localhost/login
svn: No repository found in 'svn://localhost/login'
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: 'svn-commit.tmp'

or

svn import login svn://localhost/
svn: No repository found in 'svn://localhost'
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: 'svn-commit.2.tmp'

So far I'm managed to fail the examples in the Pragmatic Version Control book
and the online version of the subversion book.

Under the hood of my svn repository (permissions and such)

repository location is
drwxrwx--- 3 svnadmin subversion 4096 2006-09-04 11:29 svn

/etc/passwd
svnadmin:x:113:1005::/home/svn:/bin/false

/etc/group
subversion:x:1005:tallison,svnadmin

I'm not sure what to look for next. This is really frustrating.
