I have recently removed one of my mirrors and have relocated my main repository to  
the server that was the mirror.  See below for my steps.  

1. Turn off replication between all mirrors to main repository.
2. Stop Apache http service on the main repository.
3. Create dump files of main repository
	"svnadmin dump e:\svn_repo\ASI_Repository >> e:\asirepo-060107"
4. Turned off Apache http service on the mirrored server.
5. Removed the mirrors and deleted svk references.
6. Create the new repository on the mirror server 
	"svnadmin create e:\svn_repo\ASI_Repository"
7. Loaded the dump file.
	"svnadmin load e:\svn_repo\ASI_Repository < e:\asirepo-060107"
8. Turned Apache http service on the new main repository.
9. Relocated the mirrors on my two remaining mirrored servers.
	"svk mirror --relocate //CodeMainMirror http://aschrepo/ASI_Repository"
	"svk mirror --relocate //SW_DocsMainMirror http://aschrepo/ASI_Repository"
10. resynced the mirrors.

The CodeMainMirror was previously copied to /CodeLocal which is where the developers
access the repository files, and /SW_DocsLocal is the similar local document directory 
for the developers.

Now when I am trying to move the changes from the /CodeLocal up to the main repository
(svk smerge --log -m " " --sync --from //CodeLocal)
the command fails with the following error.  

"RA layer request failed: CHECKOUT of '/ASI_Repository/!svn/ver/4295/Code/Develop
ment/Web/4yoursoul/69/ShoppingCart/ShoppingCart.asp': 403 Forbidden (http://asch
repo)
Please sync mirrored path /CodeMainMirror first."

I don't know how to resolve this.

-Thank you in advance, Carol
