Ok, let's start on what you did before.
You created a branch "mybranch" from trunk to work on something. This is correct and the following is roughly what you should do in such cases
- create the branch (done)
- checkout the branch (done in branches/mybranch)
- work on the branch committing as many times as you like
- regularly merge the changes done in trunk
cd branches/mybranch
svn merge ^/trunk
svn commit
- when you're done with the branch and you want to merge it back to trunk
cd branches/mybranch
svn merge ^/trunk
svn commit
cd trunk
svn merge --reintegrate ^/branches/mybranch
This works because of merge-tracking. Unfortunately I think your version of SVN server (1.5.1) has some problem with merge-tracking. Other members of this ML hopefully will tell you for sure. I suggest you upgrade your server anyway to the latest SVN which is 1.6.9.

That usually means that there are some changes done in trunk/typo3conf/localconf.php that were not merged into branches/bug/type3conf/localconf.php.
What does the log command on both files show?
