have you read the relevant sections of the subversion book at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch07s03.html? The svn:externals property accepts the path to the repository as the third argument - you most probably want this:

~> svn propset svn:externals /local/WebBrowser file:///B/trunk/WebBrowser

instead of "svn propset svn:externals file:///B/trunk/WebBrowser /local/WebBrowser"

you might as well want to try the built in help, which explains the format in detail with some examples

~> svn help propset
