[Svnmerge] svnmerge init with Bidirectional Merging Yields svnmerge avail Error

I recently began playing with svnmerge in a basic svn hierarchy:

project/
   trunk/
   branches/
     branch1/
     branch2/

I wanted to create a bidirectional branch3, so I did the following  
(using revision 15639 of the Bourne svnmerge):

svn copy trunk branches/branch3
svn ci
# commit message
cd trunk
svnmerge init ../branches/branch3
svn ci
# commit message
cd ../branches/branch3
svnmerge init ../../trunk
svn ci
# commit message

Once I had this set up, I ran svnmerge avail -l in branches/branch3,  
and I got this error:

svnmerge: explicit "src" argument required

Am I missing something in my initialization commands? Since I  
specified a src in both, I figured I was fine. I basically followed  
the standard examples.

On a related note, if I were to remove branch3 altogether, would I  
need to do something to trunk to get it to recognize that branch3 was  
gone? Say, if I wanted to create a new branch3 at some point in the  
future?
