Try:

svn merge -r410:409 $REP .

FWIW, I just replayed your scenario locally with the following sequence.
Cwd is the directory trunk in the working copy:

$ svn mkdir foo
$ touch foo/bar
$ svn add foo/bar
$ svn ci -m "* Added directory foo"
Committed revision 17.

$ svn delete foo
$ svn ci -m "* Deleted directory foo"
Committed revision 18.

$ svn mkdir baz
$ svn ci -m "* Added directory baz"
Committed revision 19.

$ svn merge -r18:17 [repository-url]/trunk baz
A baz/foo
A baz/foo/bar
