An incomplete layout in your subversion repository may be one of the causes for this error:
mvn release:clean -e
mvn release:prepare --batch-mode -e
mvn release:perform -e

Similar error with scm:
mvn scm:tag -Dtag="Test"

[ERROR] Provider message:
[ERROR] SVN tag failed.
[ERROR] Command output:
[ERROR] svn: E160013: Path 'http://svn.geoaire.cl/svn/sources/YourProject/tags/v0.01' does not exist in revision 91
------------------------------------------------
My project was up and running in the trunk, what else was I going to need? Maybe tags and branches? :-)
From now and on I rather prepare a shellscript (that I version too) to build up my projects in the very beginning with this three important directories:
------------------------------------------------
WORKSPACE=/srv/svn/repositories/sources/YourProject
mkdir -p $WORKSPACE
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs $WORKSPACE
chmod 770 -R $WORKSPACE
svn mkdir file:///srv/svn/repositories/sources/YourProject/{trunk,tags,branches}
------------------------------------------------
After the doing the "svn mkdir", the two plugins worked well. This was my configuration:
------------------------------------------------
