Re: post-commit hook fails

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your insight. The change actually worked to deliver the
following error message:
/var/svn/hooks/post-commit: line 47: /backup/svn_backups/dump41:
Permission denied

The svn_backup directory was owned by apahce, but the parent
directory was owned by root and unreadable by all other users/groups.
I chmod'ed 755 on the parent directory and now it's working. THanks!

Take care,
Sean
