In this command, you try to create a copy from svn://repo1 to
svn://repo2 - that won't work at all.

Try the command line client like this:
svn copy svn://repo/test/trunk_at_3 svn://repo/test/branches/newbrnch -m ""

As I said: I can not reproduce this, with neither of the available
protocols. Not with 1.5.7 nor with a trunk build of TSVN (and the part
doing the copy hasn't changed between trunk and 1.5.7).

It might be related to these:
