You're asking merge to compare two snapshots of 'kspread', but the
problem is that one of the snapshots doesn't exist. So don't do
that. Compare two snapshots of the *parent* directory instead:

$ svn merge -r420162:420161 svn+ssh://dfaure@svn.kde.org/home/kde/
branches/stable/l10n/it/docs/koffice/

Or, the much simpler solution: just copy the directory back to your
working copy, so that it ends up scheduled for addition (with history):

$ svn copy -r420161 \
   svn+ssh://dfaure@svn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/stable/l10n/it/docs/
koffice/kspread \
   kspread

Hm, maybe.
