Quoting from the documentation for Subversion 1.7 (you have 1.6, which is less capable):

You can only copy files within a single repository. Subversion does not support cross-repository copying.

If you want to copy files/folders, you can either

check out from repo 1, copy the working files/folders and add them and check them into repo 2 (like any other content), or
dump the files/folders with history and load them into another repository. See for example How to copy SVN repository as a folder to another repository with history
