Alex, the command to use to create a copy without svn metadata (if this is your intention) is: svn export /usr/src/svn/php-3.2.0 /some/target/path
You're getting the error because you are trying to access the working copy, but due to the file:/// prefix subversion expects this to be the location of the repository itself.
