Is that the actual request body, or did you modify it when posting it here?  You seem to have the same value in both the "from_path" and "to_path" parameters, which should produce a different error.

Anyway, I think the issue may be that you need to use AsMember for this use case, instead of AsAdmin.

Please give that a try. If that doesn't help, please open an API ticket with the team member ID and the parameter values so we can look into this for you.
