There are at least three things wrong here:

1. svn propset requires a working copy; it cannot operate on a URL as
you are trying to do. The ability to have svn propset work on a URL
is an open feature request, currently scheduled for inclusion in
Subversion 1.4:

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2238

2. You're not seeing an error in your log because you've only
redirected stdout but errors are always printed to stderr. If you
want to redirect stderr as well, you might write

....... >> Commit_Log.txt 2>&1

3. Do not attempt to modify a transaction in a hook script. Please
see the last red warning box on this page:
