There are a number of similar situations (a directory not existing) I've seen where subversion gives a misleading error message. For example, trying to svn switch to a non-existent directory results in "Cannot replace a directory from within" -- hardly illuminating. There are probably a few places where certain conditions manifest themselves in ways that result in these odd messages. Whenever I get a cryptic message from subversion, the first thing I do is check for typos, and the second thing I do is check to make sure all prerequisites for whatever I'm trying to do have been satisfied. That might have caused you to notice the missing mkdir between your two svn mv commands.
