Subversion properties don't live in the air, they live on specific files
and directories.

You're trying to set the svn:externals property to a specific value, but
you're not telling subversion where to stick it.

Try

  svn propset svn:externals "common svn://myname@path/to/repos/svn1/common" .

(note the trailing dot).

Personally I prefer

  svn propedit svn:externals .

and then I can edit the property value in a text editor.
