On page 39, I show data being imported into a repository using the following line:
svn import --message "Initial import" repos file:///home/bill/repositories/my_repository
On the surrounding pages though, the repository is located in /home/bill/my_repository and should also be referenced the same here, making the correct line:
svn import --message "Initial import" repos file:///home/bill/my_repository
Many thanks to Michael Gleen for pointing this out.
