c:\webs\test has no connection to the repository at all, so it cannot be updated from the repository. If you do an "in-place import" from c:\webs\test, it will be a working copy, so you can run svn update to pull the updates down to it. See http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#in-place-import for information on performing an in-place import. Any working copies you have must have svn update explicitly executed against them for the updates to be retrieved. Subversion is a "pull" system, not "push."
