I would use the svn_client_copyX() command to just copy the urls you need.
Seems like a much easier way to handle it, then to reproduce all the
behavior myself.

The error you see is that you can only copy from explicit (historic)
locations, so I think you should copy from a revision root instead of from
the transaction root. (The target must be the transaction of course)
