You need to checkout the project from svn in order to use it as working copy.
So, if you have an project on your harddrive and you want to use it in svn you need to:
1) import in svn
2) checkout from svn to other directory
If you only import in svn, the directories will be unchanged and will be not become a working copy.
Also, if you want to use svn with the project in a existing copy, you can move away the existing copy after the step one and checkout in the same place.
