Symlinks have no mtime AFAIK. If you try to change a symlink you change the
file/directory it's pointing to.

So you set the property. Did you commit and *then* check for a new value?
Only on commit the current value is set for files and directories and
committed.

You could try looking into the repository, too:
        svn pl -v <repos-url>/secdir

It is included, but would not help. It's for automatically setting these
properties on add and import.
