I can't see why that wouldn't work. But -
Have you tried doing the copy from WC to WC and then commiting? Something like
$ ls
./ ../ myproject/
$ cd myproject
$ ls
tags trunk branches
$ ls tags
[nothing here]
$ svn copy trunk tags/release1
$ svn commit -m "Blah bla"
usually works for me. How does that work?
