You can't do that!
You can't merge from one repository into another. That's why you get
the error message later (that the copy-from url is not from the same
repository).

Merging with Subversion means that you keep the history of files.
That's not possible with different repositories, because they have
completely different histories.

You can work around this by
* merge the revisions into a working copy of repository A
* copy the merged files over to the working copy of repository B

Or:
* do the merge as you did before
* export the working copy
* revert all changes in the working copy
* copy the exported files back into the working copy
* commit
