Okay, so /Trunk/Test exists in r47, but not in r46.

And this is where you've made the mistake. You're using the
'--relocate' switch when you shouldn't be. The '--relocate' switch is
*only* for changing the SVNROOT: in other words, the schema, the
hostname, or parts of the path leading *up* to the repository. It
dumbly rewrites your URLs under the assumption that your working copy
still reflects the *same path* within the repository.
But instead, you've blindly rewritten your URLs to point to a *different
path* in the repository. This is wrong, wrong, wrong. If you want your
working copy to reflect a new path within the repository, you must use
ordinary 'svn switch URL'. This is equivalent to "updating" to the new
location... not just rewriting URLs, but working revs at well.

...is because your working copy claims to be a reflection of
/Trunk/Test@46. But that location doesn't exist.
If you had run 'svn switch URL' and not used the --relocate switch, your
entries file would claim to be at /Trunk/Test@47, which *does* exist.
