Thanks to all here's what I did

Create cf branch and check out a local copy
> svn cp -m "bla" /repos/trunk/ /repos/branches/cf
> cd .../branches (sandbox)
> svn co /repos/branches/cf
> cd cf
> svnmerge init

Modify a file in the trunk copy and commit
> cd .../trunk
> (modify file)
> svn commit

Go back to branch copy and merge from trunk
> cd .../branch/cf
> svnmerge avail (shows avail updates)
> svnmerge merge
> svn commit

Go back to trunk copy and init trunk to prepare
branch-to-trunk merges
> cd .../trunk
> svnmerge init /repos/branches/cf

I get the following...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/sw/local/bin/svnmerge", line 1924, in ?
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/sw/local/bin/svnmerge", line 1864, in main
    check_old_prop_version(branch_dir, branch_props)
  File "/sw/local/bin/svnmerge", line 868, in check_old_prop_version
    h = rstrip(head, "/")
  File "/sw/local/bin/svnmerge", line 107, in rstrip
    if s[-1] != ch:
IndexError: string index out of range
