svn: Path <> does not exist in revision 0

I have been using subversion and tortoise for the last few months on some
development and have been very happy with it. It's like CVS on steroids.

Last week I needed to strike a TAG for an alpha release of some software and
I have run into a problem. I am unable to copy my code to my tags
directory. I thought I could isolate this on another server but I am still
running into the same error "svn: Path 'file:///var/repos/insite/trunk/*'
does not exist in revision 0"

Below are the steps I took to isolate this:

> umask 002

> svnadmin create /var/repos/insite

> svnadmin create /var/repos/insite/trunk

> svnadmin create /var/repos/insite/tags

> svnadmin create /var/repos/insite/branches

> svn import insite file:///var/repos/insite/trunk -m 'testing 123'

> svn copy file:///var/repos/insite/trunk
file:///var/repos/insite/tags/alpha-test -m 'alpha test'

            svn: Path 'file:///var/repos/insite/trunk/*' does not exist in
revision 0

I am able to checkout the "trunk" and modify and commit code but it just
won't copy to the tags library.

Can someone please give me some suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
