Error - Not Authorized to open root of edit operation

Hi,

I am working with SVN in "test mode" which means I am just getting it setup 
and working with it for the first time. I created a new repository and 
imported my project files.

I have SVN installed on a win2k server, my workstations are XP and we are 
using TortoiseSVN.

My project structure is basically this:

ProjDir
ProjDir\forms
ProjDir\progs
ProjDir\reports
ProjDir\... (several others)

I imported from ProjDir and all the files went into the repository fine.

Then I created a new root folder called ProjWork which is intended to be my 
working copy. I tried to checkout ProjDir and I expected I would get a copy 
of the entire project directory tree into ProjWork. What I got instead was 
"Error - Not Authorized to open root of edit operation."

So I copied the files down using the copy to working copy option. I can do 
that with the files WITHIN the folders but not with folders themselves.

I even tried SVNUpdate in the hopes that this would bring down all the 
files but that gives me the error message again.

I am sure this is something stupid on my part but I can't seem to find the 
cause of the error. Any help would be appreciated.
