Have you heard of continuous integration? I suggest that you consider
augmenting SVN with another program such as CruiseControl
(http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/). Your diagram looks fine as far as
SVN goes, but it sounds like you are trying to use post-commit hooks to
automate deployment. Automated build systems can solve related problems such
as:
 - monitoring the SVN repository for changes
 - compiling your program in a standardized environment
 - regression-testing your software
 - communicating to relevant parties about the status of your code
 - deploying software (conditionally on tests and other criteria) to the
right machines
