You should type "-t tags/VERSION2" as stated.

The suggested layout for a vendor branch is different from the
suggested layout for a normal project that you develop yourself.
Since svn_load_dirs.pl is designed for the vendor branch directory
layout, not the normal project directory layout, you need to tell it
what directory to put the tag into, because if you don't, it will
create it at the same level as trunk.

Usual vendor branch directory layout:

/repo/vendor/
        current/
        tag1/
        tag2/

Normal project directory layout:

/repo/project/
        trunk/
        branches/
                branch1/
                branch2/
        tags
                tag1/
                tag2/
