From the error message, it sounds like it's not complaining about
being unable to run the script -- it's saying it can't write to parts
of the working copy you're updating. Is that working copy owned by
svn? Likely at least parts of it are now owned by root, if you ran
the update command as root as you say you did. So you should fix the
ownership of the working copy so it's entirely owned by your svn user:
sudo chown -R svn /home/mysite-dev/www
or
sudo chown -R svn /home/www/socalgraph-dev
whatever the path is.
Then, never run the update script using any user other than your svn
user, or you'll have to do the above all over again.
