You can't set it so the server will assign MIME types automatically, if that's what you want. You can only do the three steps I described above.

Exactly what commands did you type? For example, if you have a QuickTime video file, you should type something like this:

cd path/to/workingcopy
svn propset svn:mime-type video/quicktime video.mov
svn commit video.mov -m "add svn:mime-type"
