--root not recognized

Just new to subversion administration

I created a repository with

svnadmin create /usr/local/repos/java

I started the sever with

svnserve -d --root=/usr/local/repos

At the client I imported a project with

cd my-project
svn import svn+ssh://server-domain/java/my-project

!! svn: No repository found in
'svn+ssh://server-domain/java/my-project !!

However,

svn import svn+ssh://server-domain/usr/local/repos/java/my-project

worked fine.

Sorry I cannot see what I've missed here. For what I read the fist
import should do.
Could you point me to my error?
