The error message isn't very clear, but you've created a working copy on
your disk from the repository and now you are trying to re-import files
from it. "svn import" is used to create a new tree of files in the
repository using an unversioned source tree, not a working copy. "svn
commit" is used to commit changes to an already-existing repository
directory from a working copy.
What is the "caught signal" message in the middle of your transcript?
Did you interrupt the checkout in the middle? That may result in an
invalid ("wedged") working copy, in which case you would need to create
another working copy (or delete the first and start the checkout over
again, if you haven't made any changes in it).

Finally, have you read the Subversion book? If not, an online copy is
available at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
