Ok, I see the problem... I set up a repo and tested this my self. If you try to copy it all to trunk then there is a problem.

I was able to move the folders/files one at a time. Like this:

svn mkdir file:///c:/Users/Development/TestRepository

svn mv file:///c:/Users/Development/TestRepository/folder1 file:///c:/Users/Development/TestRepository/trunk

repeat for each folder/file in the root of your project.

Here is another way... you will need svnadmin to do it... You well need to create a new empty repository...

mkdir TempDump
cd TempDump
svnadmin dump c:/Users/Development/TestRepositry > MyRepo
svnadmin load --parent-dir c:/Users/Development/NewRepository/Trunk < MyRepo

Ah yes, you have to be careful with versions. I really suggest you use 1.6 for everything. Also, you really shouldn't be using the file:// protocol on shared repositories.
