They are the same in spirit and underlying implementation, but not in
what they ask the server to do.
'svn up' asks the server to compare the working-revision (r13) of the
/2.0.0 tree with the HEAD revision of the /2.0.0 tree. The latter tree
doesn't exist, hence the error.
'svn switch newURL' asks the server to compare the working-revision
(r13) of the /2.0.0 tree with the HEAD revision of newURL
(/branches/2.0.0) This should succeed, since both of those trees exist.

No, it doesn't. Can you actually show us a transcript, rather than
describe what you think is happening? :-)
I'd also like to see the output of 'svn info' on the root directory of
your working copy, as well as 'svn status' and 'svnversion'.
