SVN Copy Command

Hi,

I apologize for resending this if anyone has already received it. I sent this prior to subscribing for the service and maybe that's why I haven't received a response yet. I am really having trouble with svn copy, not sure what i'm doing wrong, but i'll do my best to explain how I got there.

1) Opened up svn-acl.txt (dir permission file) and added the following:
    [groups]
    team1 = rachel, harry, sally

    [ClientA:/]
    @team1 = rw

    [ClientA:/branches/mybranch]
    ross = rw
2) Subversion.conf - This file points to the "Repositories" directory which will be the place I store each repository per project
3) SVN-Auth-File - This of course has the U/N and P/W for each of the 4 team members
4) Opened up a CMD window and typed the following:
    a) mkdir C:\Repositories\ClientA
    b) svnadmin create C:\Repositories\ClientA
    c) svn mkdir http://my.url.com/svn/ClientA/Trunk (message: "Committed revision 1")
    d) svn mkdir http://my.url.com/svn/ClientA/Tags (message: "Committed revision 2")
    e) svn mkdir http://my.url.com/svn/ClientA/Branches (message: "Committed revision 3")

This is as far as I get before receiving any errors. When I try to run the following, I get an error:
    svn copy http://my.url.com/svn/ClientA/Trunk http://my.url.com/svn/Branches/mybranch -m "Creating mybranch in the Branches directory"
    
    svn: COPY of Branches/mybranch: 400 Bad Request (http://my.url.com)
    svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
    svn: 'svn-commit.8.tmp

I think that I followed the directions from the svn book by using the example they showed the long way and the short way of doing it in the Using Branches / Creating a Branch in Chapter 4. If anyone out there has had the same issue and can offer some advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I am running Windows XP Pro, Apache 2.059, Subversion (Latest), and Subclipse (Latest). Everything I tried was through the CMD line, I've also tried with subclipse and have had no luck. Matter of fact, I get errors when I try to copy from the trunk to a branch or just copying back and forth doesn't work at all.

If you need more information, please let me know and I will do my best to provide.

Thanks,

H Jaber
