Perhaps, velocity, your JScript is not waiting for the process
to finish?

C:\temp\svn> svnlook uuid repos
5e4f9bff-2f23-6141-8991-54da6642e5b4

C:\temp\svn> echo %ERRORLEVEL%
0

C:\temp\svn> svnlook uuid \temp
svn: Can't open file '/temp/format': The system cannot find the file
specified.

C:\temp\svn> echo %ERRORLEVEL%
1

C:\temp\svn>svnlook --version
svnlook, version 1.0.6 (r10360)
