How was repo1_new created from repo1? Do they have the same UUID? Do they have the same revision numbers?

You're trying to do two things at once. You need to do them separately. First you need to relocate the working copy so that portion of the URL that points to the root of the repository is updated:

svn switch --relocate http://sample.com/svn http://sample.com/svn/repo1_new

(the repository root used to be at /svn and now it is at /svn/repo1_new)

Then you can switch the part after the repository URL, if desired. For example if you want to switch from branch1 to trunk, you do:

svn switch http://sample.com/svn/repo1_new/trunk

(the working copy has now been switched from wherever it was (branches/branch1) to trunk)

If the above doesn't help, then it sounds like they are not the same repository. If they aren't, then you can't switch or relocate; you must check out new working copies.
