Let me put it a different way. Subversion is executing your post-
commit script. It encounters the line quoted above, which is supposed
to export the repository to some directory. This act of connecting to
the repository to perform the export perhaps requires authentication?
Do you allow anyone to check out or export your repository, or must
one authenticate? If the latter, then the svn command within your
hook script is trying to start an export, your repository is
answering that it requires authentication, your hook script doesn't
know how to provide that to the repository, and so nothing happens.
When you start it manually on the command line, it's likely using
your cached credentials in your .subversion directory in your home
directory, so you don't see the problem there.
Another possibility is that the user under which Apache runs does not
have a home directory, or if it does, that it does not have
a .subversion directory, and that this may be required. So try making
it.
