client error trying to check out revision
running centos 4.4 (same as rhel 4.4) svn version information follows
the problem description.
I am just trying to check out an older version of a file, and I can't
seem to make it happen.
$ svn co --revision 671 reg_moms.manager.php
svn: Client error in parsing arguments
$ svn co -r 671 reg_moms.manager.php
svn: Client error in parsing arguments
$ svn checkout -r 671 reg_moms.manager.php
svn: Client error in parsing arguments
$ svn checkout --revision "{2007-02-16}" reg_moms.manager.php
svn: Client error in parsing arguments
Note, I was able to access the svn repository from tortoiseSVN under
windows and check out the revision I wanted, but why can't I do it from
linux on the command line?
Here is the svn --version output:
svn, version 1.4.3 (r23084)

Yes, if you already have a working copy and want to update to an older
revision of a file, it's svn up -r REV <FILENAME>
Or, if you want to check out an older revision, svn co -r REV <URL>

You aren't passing the URL to the directory where the file is located.
You can't check out individual files, only directories, and you have
to pass a URL, not a bare filename. See svn help co.
