It's a bug which looks like it will be fixed in Subversion 1.5:

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2429

The bug notes include a workaround you can use until then, at least
on computers that have the "rsync" command (i.e. anything Unix-y).

You can also export from a repository URL instead of from a working
copy; that should work too. Maybe that's what TortoiseSVN is doing to
get it to work; I don't know.
