The problem is that you're using colons (:) in the names. Colons are
forbidden in file (or directory) names on Windows; that restriction has
nothing to do with Subversion.
Subversion will allow you to create such directories in the repository,
but can't create them in your Windows working copy.
The safest thing to do is to change the name of your tags (for example,
use dashes instead of colons in the time separator) and rename all the
tags in the repository. Or you can use a Unix client to make your
changes; Unix filesystems typically allow colons in file names.
