Checking out .ssh directory

[Kevin T. Neely]

I have just begun to use svn for home directory replication and versioning.  Tp start, I am mostly working from a well-used directory with many of my files.  When I do an 'svn update' at the $HOME level, I get the following error.

The authenticity of host 'hostname' (192.168.0.1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 72:13:c1:71:ca:...
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'hostname,192.168.0.1' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
user at hostname's password:
Permission denied, please try again.

I imported the .ssh directory earlier, but now when I try to perform an update o nthe directory, it fails because there is already an .ssh  directory there.  Same thing wwhen I try to blow it away and then resume the update: svn+ssh:// of course creates the directory as it authenticates with the server.

Any help to point me in the right direction would be great.

thank you,
K
