I've got a much longer e-mail in my Drafts folder at home, which I'll
send later tonight, but the short answer is:

Don't debug commit scripts using Subversion until you have debugged
using the same user outside of Subversion. At least 50% of the
difficulties people have with commit scripts is user rights (even though
you think you've already checked that).

So, what you need to do is run that script in a shell as the user svn, ala

$ su
# su -s /bin/bash svn
$ cd /path/to/repos/hooks
$ ./post-commit $PWD 999

It won't work for some reason and this will tell you what is going on.
It could be that you forgot to set the executable bit on post-commit.
It could be that the rights _are_ funky on the file. Whatever. Only
when this works will you be able to do it as part of a Subversion commit.

I'll finish up my fuller discussion of writing/debugging commit scripts
and post it tonight...
