That path has to be to the actual depot; I doubt that you have the depot 
files in the current directory.

That will work only if you use '' as the repository name above in the new().

Note that 'svk info' pulls in the ~/.svk/config file in order to 
determine what checkouts exist.  I suspect if you put the actual path to 
the .svk directory up there where you have './' then you will have much 
more luck...
