Well, earlier, you said:

So I take that to mean C:\MWDM is the working copy, not the repository. You need the repository URL. In response to your message, Bert Huijben gave instructions on how to find the repository URL:

However, it seems like you're still using file:///C:/MWDM as the repo URL, rather than the what svn info gave.
