It's just
0 19 * * * . $HOME/.bashrc ; svnsync sync file:///home/mpiteam/mirrors-svnroots/ompi-test
(repeated for the other SVN repo's I'm mirroring)
See the SVN book docs for svnsync -- they discuss how to setup a local
repo for mirroring with svnsync (there's a few steps you have to do to
set it up).

svn co file:///foo
A file:// URL is just like an http[s]:// URL -- just put the absolute
directory name after it (to include the leading "/" -- so a file URL
will have 3 /'s).
