Yes, you can only import into an existing parent.

Which has nothing to do with the location you tried to use in the
failing import.

Yes, the repository has to exist before you can use it.

You can only svn copy with url's pointing to within the same repository.
Or you can do it locally in a checked out working copy and commit it
back. And is that file:///mnt/h/svn/GDJ/foobar/0.1 supposed to refer to
a revision or is that a subdirectory you imported there?
