I believe he's trying to do 'svn cp URL path' where path is not a
wc-path at all. Like this:

pelix:~% ls .svn foobar
.svn: No such file or directory
foobar: No such file or directory
pelix:~% svn cp http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/svnadmin foobar
A foobar/main.c
A foobar/svnadmin.h
A foobar/svnadmin.dsp
A foobar/svnadmin.1
A foobar/shell.c
Checked out revision 2608.

subversion/libsvn_wc/entries.c:625
svn_error: #21044 : <Path is not a working copy directory>
  svn_wc_entry: . is not a working copy directory
pelix:~%

So in this case the error message is correct. '.' isn't a working
copy directory. Question is, if that's a problem, shouldn't the
command fail _before_ writing all the files to foobar? And if it
isn't a problem (foobar seems to become a proper wc dir), then there
shouldn't be an angry message about it.
