What what revisions did you tag?  I'm assuming you tagged the most
recent revisions on the trunk.

If so, that's completely wrong.  It's almost certainly wrong no matter
what.  The first tag should be the revision tag you used the last time
you imported the source, not a new tag you made up somewhere along the
line.  The bottom line is that you want to merge all the (third party)
changes between the previous import and this import into the trunk.
