Yes, you've just run into a (rather unpleasant) known issue. 

I would suggest you start with:
   svk pe svm:mirror //

Note that those paths are internal to the depot, so they start with a
single slash.

The second change you'll need to make is to copy the svm:headrev revprop
from the last mirrored revision of the old path, onto the current head
revision of the new path. It's possible svk mi --recover will do that
for you... I'm not sure whether it follows copies. If it doesn't, I
would strongly suggest confirming with clkao whether making that change
manually will cause massive amounts of future pain and/or breakage. :)
