Oh, goodness, no. trunk, branches and tags should merely be
directories inside your repository. They should not each be their own
repositories (which is what svnadmin create does -- it creates
repositories). That would completely defeat the purpose. The purpose
of branches and tags is that you copy to them from the trunk, but you
cannot copy between repositories. Do not use svnadmin create here at
all.

svn commit does not take a repository URL argument. svn import does...
