I am quite sure that the missing files were within the range of my
merge...this was my merge:
svn merge --dry-run -r 52:138 svn
+craigssh://app-serve@srv2.tobyhouse.com/home/app-serve/svn/th-db/branches/phase3
merged from 52 through 138
now in my newly checked out trunk, just one example directory...(blank
lines removed)
$ ls -l lib

and from my branch that was the source of all activity from revision 52

### so you can see that the missing files (in this case seem to be from
revision 67 but there are other files missing from other revisions also
within the 52:138 range that I merged (without error) into the trunk.
Many of the files within that range did successfully merge.
I am confused but I need to fix this to move on.
Thanks
Craig
