diff_cmd gvimdiff not working in 1.6 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hello,

I am trying to have SVN call an external diff tool using --diff_cmd but it doesn't seem to work for gvimdiff. What I'm doing is:

accessdev:/home/548/jtl548/roses/au-aa034> svn --version
svn, version 1.6.11 (r934486)
   compiled Mar 6 2014, 10:49:10
...
...
accessdev:/home/548/jtl548/roses/au-aa034> svn diff --diff-cmd=diffwrap.py --old=bin/envfile --new=^/a/a/0/6/0/trunk/bin/envfile

The wrapper script, diffwrap.py for calling an external diff tool is a copy of what's given in "Version Control with Subversion -
For Subversion 1.7". The command seems to work with xxdiff but not with gvimdiff (or vimdiff).

Any help with sorting out this problem would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Jin LEE
