"For either type of external, the local subdirectory part of the definition cannot contain .. parent directory indicators (such as ../../skins/myskin)."

This statement does not appear to be true. I just attempted using the following external property and it resolved the parent directory indicators successfully.

svn:externals ../../../nant-tasks nant-tasks

According to the "svn help ps":

      The ambiguous format 'relative_path relative_path' is taken as
      'relative_url relative_path' with peg revision support.

this implies that you're using a relative URL, not a relative path,
which is fine.

If you try an external of

    nant-tasks ../../../nant-tasks

then this should fail.  Can you try that?
