hmmm ... you should view it right like a filesystem here. Look this:

  mkdir trunk
  echo hello >> trunk/hello.txt
  mkdir tags
  cp trunk/hello.txt tags/test/hello.txt

Do you really expect this to work? A copy does not create lacking
directories. Subversion behaves exactly similar. To get it to work you
have to:

  svn mkdir file:///<your path here>/tags/test
  svn cp file:///<your path here>/trunk/hello.c \
         file:///<your path here>/tags/test/hello.c

just right the same as you would do using a filesystem.

HTH,
