Unless you do something special, all request variables are strings.
"sequence-number" on the other hand are integers. And the integer 1
is not equal to the string '1'. You need to coerce either the integer
or the string. Try:

   <dtml-if "seqnum == _.int(copyitem)">

or

   <dtml-if "`seqnun` == copyitem">
