I think you meant propset

but anyhow svn prop* for versioned properties only work in on a
working copy.
the remote version only works for revision properties

svnmucc has no -R option.

you either need to checkout to a temporary working copy apply the
properties and commit,

or generate a file containing one 'propset PROPNAME VAL URL' command
per line for each file/folder you want to modify.
Then call svnmucc with '--extra-args FILENAME'
