svn check out a sub-folder in repository

I am having issues checking out a subfolder of a repository named 'pro'. I have subversion 1.7 installed and the repo is in /home/svn/pro

root@ubuntu: /home/svn/proroot@ubuntu:/home/svn/pro# dir
conf  db  format  hooks  locks    README.txt  src  typescript
root@ubuntu: /home/svn/proroot@ubuntu:/home/svn/pro# sudo svn co file://localhost  /home/svn    /pro/src /home/barry/testrepo
svn: E170000: URL 'file://localhost/home/svn/pro/src' doesn't exist
root@ubuntu: /home/svn/proroot@ubuntu:/home/svn/pro# exit
exit

any ideas why i cannot check out the subfolder pro/src? I can check out the /pro folder

Because this folder is physical folder and not part of repository.

Read at least SVN-Book as a must ABC, detect real repository tree using SVN-client and correct file:///-type URL of repository: for repository in /home/svn/pro it will be svn ls [-R] file:///home/svn/pro
