RE: RE: Commit hooks malfunctioning... Bug?!

I think I have an idea what your problem may be.
Try running the cscript command with "start /WAIT cscript blah.vbs",
specifically, I've done
this in the past:
"start /wait wscript //B //nologo //T:200 C:\scripts\blah.vbs"
 
This issue is that your command #2 and #3 are running in parallel, so #2
isn't even done
when command #3 begins executing.

Thanks Ryan,
 
I would agree with you 100%; however, in this particular circumstance, I
am not changing any governing settings of the working copy. All I am
doing is adding additional directives for future commits.
 
In particular, by way of "post-commit", instead of just updating the WC
it should be possible to add the extra non-versioned files into the
queue. So, when the next commit occurs (whenever that is) it would
already know that file "abc.txt" is to be added (from non-vers'd to
vers'd) into the repository.
 
Those commands do not interfere with the current transaction; they
simply prepare for the next.
 
Because autoversioning+locking/unlocking will be fixed in SVN 1.2, I
have opted for a scheduled task that does the same thing. It would have
been nicer, however, to simply have the start/pre/post-commit hooks make
sure the adding/removing of files happened only on-demand and not
on-schedule.

        Yes, that's what I understand from reading The Book:
