Trouble witn new SVN Script

I'm new to the whole SVN process. I've been trying to follow the guide http://wiki.kolmafia.us/index.php?title=SVN_Primer#Information_for_Scripters

Code:
First, get a sourceforge account. Make a new project there. Download TortoiseSVN and install it.
Done.
Code:
Make a new folder somewhere on your computer. Right-click, and choose SVN Checkout... from the context menu. You will want to give it the address that you see on your new sourceforge project code page - for now just grab the http:// address, it's easier. Ignore the commands in front of the address and after it, those are for command-line svn tools.
Done, but here's where the error occurs...

This is the error I get... If I do all the above, and don't give it the http:// address from SourceForge, it seems I can get to the next step.

Code:
The rest of the default options are okay. Click OK and you should get a new working copy of your repo! Cool. Open it up and let's add some stuff. Add a new directory called scripts/, and within scripts/ put a new text file. Now navigate back up to the root of your working copy, right click on the folder, and choose SVN commit... Tick all the files/folders (tick the "show unversioned files" box if it's not ticked), give it a quick commit comment up top. You should have to enter your sourceforge user information, save it if you want. If you've done everything correctly, your new project should have been committed.
I've done all this, without using the SF http:// address.

I'm not sure where I'm making the mistake. If anyone sees it, can you please point it out, or do I need to supply more information?

I've uploaded my script, and sub-directory for the script directly to SF, but don't know how to get the SVN to download it.

Well, first, it looks like you made a git project instead of a svn project. I don't know if (or how) you can use subversion to clone git projects from sourceforge.

Second, you definitely don't want the .../files link.
You might have grabbed the URL from your address bar? Instead, you should go to the Code tab on the page, and there should be some buttons to select which kind of url you want, and a text box that will tell you the url you want (it will be an entire command, but you can tell which part of it is the url).

ok, I've firgured out where I went wrong. I've fixed it. Now, how do I make it so that I don't get this: "The requested repo failed validation. Complain to the script's author."
