I see the mistake in my thinking now.

On the command line:

[~]> svn cp svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/svnroot/Project/trunk svn+ssh://[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]/
svnroot/Project/tags/foo

you are copying the trunk to a directory in tags named foo.

in Versions:

you are copying the trunk to the tags directory and will be prompted
for a name. I mistakingly created a directory under tags first, then
copied (which you can't do).

Thanks for the help!

(and yes, this should be in an FAQ)
