svn:externals - svn: E200009: Targets must be working copy paths

Hello,

I am attempting to set the svn:externals property via the command line, in
hopes of ultimately creating a batch file/script as we have a huge number
of externals to set. That dilemma aside, when I run the command, I get the
message show below.

My expectation is that this will set the prop value on "system_802" where
it will pull in the code from "system_800".

I am running the command in a directory where I have the "system_800" code
checked out (ie my working copy path), so I don't know why I am getting the
"Targets must be working copy paths" message.

C:\Temp\800>svn propset svn:externals
svn://3.X.X.X//trunk/Customer1/system_800/ver_1.0
svn://3.X.X/Customer1/system_802/ver_1.0

svn: E200009: Targets must be working copy paths

c:\Temp\8500>svn propset -r149 svn:externals
svn://3.X.X.X/trunk/Customer1/system_800/ver_1.0
svn://3.X.X.X/trunk/Customer1/system_802/ver_1.0

svn: E205000: Try 'svn help' for more info
svn: E205000: Cannot specify revision for setting versioned property
'svn:externals'

Your guidance is much needed and appreciated.
