Thanks for the quick answers everyone, the trick seems to be three steps:
# prime the tree with a guess as to the revision that you need.
svn co -r <something> --depth immediates svn://<path>/security
# refine the guess using the svn logs.
cd security/cfs && svn log
# checkout the revision that you wanted. ( updating didn't work...)
cd ../.. && rm -rf security && svn co -r <target-from-log> svn
