It looks like you are trying to load the results of the cvs2svn
conversion into a Subversion repository that already exists and already
contains a "trunk" directory.  This doesn't work because the existing
"trunk" directory conflicts with the "trunk" directory from the cvs2svn
output.

If you don't already have contents in the existing Subversion
repository, then you should just delete it and let cvs2svn create one
for you.

If you already have contents in the SVN repo, then you have to come up
with a directory scheme where the old contents and the new contents
don't overlap.  Usually this involves loading the new contents into the
repo manually using "svnadmin load"'s --parent-dir option.
