First, I wouldn't run svn as root like you are with 'sudo'. Instead, change the ownership of your repo so that you have write access.
Your command was trying to import 'cashier.cpp' into the repository as the name 'repos'. You need to do this instead: svn import -m "initial import" cashier.cpp file:////usr/local/svn/repos/cashier.cpp Import is usually used to bring a whole tree of files into a repository in one shot. Import does not create a working copy, so you will need to subsequently check out to begin using svn to track changes to your file.
