1. Are you sure the drive letter D: is defined for the user under
which the hook is running? I've heard that for Windows, drive letters
are a per-user thing.

2. You will want to use the pre-commit hook, not the start-commit
hook. By start-commit hook time, the transaction you want to examine
has not yet been created, but by pre-commit hook time, it has.
