Xcode doesn't put your project under source control; it will simply manage it once it is.
The first step is to check out your project _manually_ from Subversion. This is biggest and most counter-intuative step in Xcode SCM. If your project isn't in source control yet, you'll need to check it in -- again, manually. Remember not to check in the build folder or any other non-project files.
When you check out your project folder, Subversion leaves invisible .svn files and subdirectories all over the place. These tell Xcode and the svn tools which files are under source control and what their status is. Once you've checked out your project from source control, launch Xcode and *then* configure it to use SCM. It will immediately recognize which files are under source control (and which aren't) and take it from there.
I have a brief (and free) bonus chapter to my book that walks you through setting up a remote Subversion repository using svn+ssh at <http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/productCd-047175479X,descCd-download_code.html>, but it sounds like you're already past that point. [ If you do use this chapter, ignore that part about building your own svnserve tool. The current binary distribution of Subversion for the Mac now includes svnserve. ]
And by all means, download/buy Version Control with Subversion at <http://svnbook.red-bean.com/>. This is your bible.
