Well, reinterate can only be used if you have merged ALL of trunk into branch. You can't cherrypick stuff from trunk into branch and then --reintegrate the branch. It's not gonna allow it or work.

If this is the result you want and you don't want to merge everything from trunk to branch you can just delete the trunk and then copy the branch to trunk. This will get you where you want to be.
