This is more of an issue with SVN than TortoiseSVN, but my guess is that
the commands lines tools (at least this function) don't work on the server
directly. Try checking out a local copy, using the rename command on the
local copy, and then commit the changes if you are satisfied. You might
want to test it on a branch before doing it on trunk just to be safe.
