I think I know what the problem is. Svn copy can't create parent
directories.

Try this:
svn mkdir svn://svn.reactos.com/branches/cache_manager_rewrite -m "Created cache_manager_rewrite branch"

svn copy svn://svn.reactos.com/trunk/reactos svn://svn.reactos.com/branches/cache_manager_rewrite/reactos -m "Created
cache_manager_rewrite branch"

The error message is highly confusing. I'll report it to the Subversion team.
