sw == switch == moving working copies, not mirrors.
I think you want
svk mi --relocate //m http://9.181.106.169/repos/branches/m,

I'm not sure what happens when you switch a mirror to a branch
with (what look like) different contents like that.  I've mainly used
--relocate to switch from svn+ssh to https or to handle a dns rename
