Cheers, that fixed it.

For some reason I thought the script would inherit
my path (since I'm basically running them as children of my shell).
 Now I think of it this way makes more sense, at least unsetting the path
makes svnserve, file:// and Apache consistent...

Is it possible to mention this in the "Hook Scripts" section:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/book/ch05s02.html#svn-ch-5-sect-2.1

? It isn't in the FAQ either.
And maybe in *-commit.tmpl too? There's a mention of the working
directory issue but not the PATH. I assumed it would look in hooks/
since commit-email.pl was mentioned with no path information...

Thanks for the quick fix anyway.
