You didn't show us the commands you used or the exact error message
you got, so it's difficult to guess. But I think I can help you. If I
understand correctly, you want a working copy where most of the files
are from the trunk, but one directory of files comes from a branch?
That can be done like this:

svn checkout http://svn.example.com/repo/trunk wc

svn switch \
http://svn.example.com/repo/branches/somebranch/somedir \
wc/somedir
