What does `hg verify` say when run on the source?  The destination?

What does `hg -R /path/to/dest/repo log -r tip` say?  If it doesn't say  
this:

changeset:   -1:000000000000
user:
date:        Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000

... then there's data in the destination.

The other possibility is that the filemap is wrong.  The include directive  
will only include files you ask for, and throws everything else away.  If  
the new commit would be empty after doing that, it throws the commit  
away.  I'm a little fuzzy on what you wrote- "Now Repo1 contains a repo".   
If that's the case, I don't think you should have "Repo1" in the filemap-  
try it with paths relative to the root of the repository.
