Thanks in advance for any help with this Subversion question.

We have a WordPress blog on our company site that I'd like to connect  
with the official WordPress SVN repository instead of our own  
repository, where it has been.  However, the WordPress settings and  
media files should still go to our repository.

Here's what I want:
/ourcompany  (our repository)
/ourcompany/blog/  (WordPress repository)
/ourcompany/blog/wp-settings.php   (our repository)

Here are things I tried:
$ svn checkout http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.1/ / 
ourcompany/blog/
svn: <path> is already a working copy for a different URL


$ svn switch http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.1/ / 
ourcompany/blog/
svn: 'http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.1' is not the same  
repository as <URL>


$ svn propedit svn:externals /ourcompany
	blog		http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tag/2.1/
$ svn up
svn: Working copy 'blog' locked, svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks
$ svn cleanup
$ svn up
svn: Working copy 'blog' locked, svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks


I feel like I'm close but not quite there.  Any help appreciated.

Richard
