Hi..the structure of the urls for both src and dst are as follow:

<dst> https://svn.example.com/repos-aci/XXX/xxx50/branches/

Hmm, that should work, then. I did an experiment:
$ svn info | grep -E "^URL:"
URL: https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch
$ svn mkdir foo
A foo
$ svn ci -m "Create an empty directory for experimenting."
Adding foo
Committing transaction...
Committed revision 9851.
$ svn ls -v
https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch/foo
9851 kfogel Jun 09 13:32 ./
$ svn cp -m "Copy foo to bar." \
https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch/foo \
https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch/bar
Committing transaction...
Committed revision 9852.
$ svn ls -v
https://svn.red-bean.com/kfogel-private/trunk/scratch/bar
9852 kfogel Jun 09 13:33 ./

No problems. Well, okay, you had put your -m option at the end of
the command. So I tried that too, and it worked fine:
$ svn cp https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch/bar
\
https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch/baz
\
-m "Copy bar to baz."
Committing transaction...
Committed revision 9853.
$
$ svn ls -v
https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch/baz
9854 kfogel Jun 09 13:36 ./
$
The only thing I can think of is to upgrade Subversion (on client
side) and see what happens? I'm using 1.14:
$ svn --version
svn, version 1.14.1 (r1886195)
compiled Feb 18 2021, 02:52:03 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
$

Can you show the actual URLs? Or at least, most of it but
maybe
with the domain name replaced by "example.com" if you need
privacy? It would help to see the schema and structure of
the
URLs you are using here.
