The nz/mp/patient's BASE revision has not been changed by your commit.
The only nodes which had their BASE bumped to r9593 are:

        trunk/nz/mp/patient/search.cfm
        trunk/nz/mp/patient/searchResults.cfm
        trunk/nz/mp/patient/showinpatient.cfm

Now BASE has been bumped to r9593 everywhere.

You need a URL in there, but you have a working copy path.
Try: svn merge -c -9593 ^/ .
