Older versions of Mercurial did not support SVN sub-repositories. You need to upgrade your Mercurial client to something a little more recent.

For reference, I can correctly check out the repository with Mercurial version 1.8.3, but I think SVN support has been enabled for quite a while. So, somewhat older versions should work just fine as well.

Do you have a working copy of subversion on your computer? What does "svn --version" output?
