First try with svn.exe:
svn import "D:\Eigene Dateien\Eigene Webs\Verleih\trunk"
http:\\svn\test\trunk
Got an error-return that told me that no external error and no message
was given.
Second try:
svn import -m "IMPORT" --editor-cmd C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe "D:\Eigene
Dateien\Eigene Webs\Verleih\trunk" http:\\svn\test\trunk
Got following error:
svn: PROPFIND Anfrage fehlgeschlagen auf
'/test/trunk/wnd_delete_php_error.log'
svn: could not open the requested SVN filesystem

The results in the apache error-log and the svn-access-log are exactly
the same as with TortoiseSVN

In my opinion the problem is in the following line aof the svn-access-log:
172.16.0.10 - - [05/Sep/2006:12:17:43 +0200] "PROPFIND
/test/trunk/wnd_delete_php_error.php HTTP/1.1" 500 239 "-" "SVN/1.3.2
(r19776) neon/0.25.4"

The PROPFIND command is for a file that can't be present on the server.
That is ok. But the return shows http-result 500, which - i think - is
wrong. On the system I'm running at home the same PROPFIND command is
running, but the http-result is 404, which means file not found, and the
  import is done well.
