What is the result of this command? I expect that this is not merging other stuff automatically based on merginfo. It shouldn't do that. What version of svn client/server do you have?

Try it this way:

svn merge project1/trunk/myDirectory/fileName.txt_at_9252 \
          project1/trunk/myDirectory/fileName.txt_at_9258 \
          project1/branches/released/myDirectory/fileName.txt

If that doesn't work, perhaps use the URLs rather than the WCPaths.

Yes, that should be correct. Did you verify what you think is there is there. You can get the 9252 rev and the 9258 rev and compare them manually. Maybe one of those commits has something you didn't think it had?
