Looks good so far...

I think this is where you are going wrong. If you look at the commands
you successfully ran above, svk uses the depot format
"//local/think-ow" as the identifying name of your local branch copy,
of the mirrored repository. Use this same format in the checkout
command like this:

$ svn co -p //local/think-ow think-ow

That seems to be what you want. Others can probably explain in more
detail why your other attempts didn't work as you expected. All I can
say is, the "//depot/branch/" format worked for you before, so why
stop using it in other commands?
