Hi,

first of all THX for your fast Feedback and sorry for wasting your time.
(ps: at the user list there was not feedback at all :( )

The hook-script itself was working perfect, but we use a XML based hooks-
system, where all repo. have the same global hooks, reading a xml file
based on the hook-subscrition of the rep in the xml the corresponding
hook is started, and there was the error during the handover of the
params to the finally started script.

kind regards,
sth.
