Does switching to a new branch work before the reorganization that you did?
What version of Subversion are you using?
Can you reproduce the problem with a mock version of your repository?
When you do an svn log of your new branch, does the history go back to a
common revision with the new trunk? Likewise, with your new trunk, does an
svn log show a common revision with the branch?
