I'm still not exactly sure how your modules are layed out, but
if directory named 'DirectoryServer' doesn't exist in the
http://samsonite.central.sun.com/svn,
sounds like you should just have "http://samsonite.central.sun.com/svn" as the
module names.
If you look at the help string of "SVN modules", it says:
URL of SVN module. Multiple URLs can be specified.
The intended use of this field is that you specify URLs and URLs only.
If you specify "http://samsonite.central.sun.com/svn DirectoryServer",
The former token is URL but the latter is not. You'll specify two URLs
only if you have two modules to check out, and it seems to me that
that's not what you want here.
The svn checkout command works only because I'm not checking errors
correctly, and apparently there's a bug in handling multiple module
URLs correctly in checking out modules.
Changing the subject from "subversion checkout fails on solaris" to "error check
on SVN module names are insufficient".
What do you specify as the SVN module names? Given your output, it looks like
you had "http://samsonite.central.sun.com/svn DirectoryServer" whereas you
probably needed "http://samsonite.central.sun.com/svn/DirectoryServer"
If this was an issue, I think it's just a matter of improving the error
detection code.
