I think it would be easier to help you if you told us what your
post-commit.bat contains. You are aware that when the hook is run no
enviromental variables are set, as stated here
<http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#hook-debugging>? Also, does the
user subversion runs as on your server have write permissions where
you are trying to write the file?

When it comes to mailer.py you have to call it using a post-commit.bat
hook since subversion does not recognize .py files as executable on
windows. Only .exe, .bat and .cmd I think.
