Does your repo path contain spaces? You should always quote paths that
contain variable expansions in case the resulting path contains spaces.
Your Scmbug activity_verify command would then be:

/usr/bin/perl -I "${REPOS}/hooks/lib/scmbug" \
     "${REPOS}/hooks/bin/scmbug_activity.pl" \
     "${REPOS}/hooks/etc/scmbug/glue.conf" \
     activity_verify "${REPOS}" "${TXN}" >&2

(I do not know if transaction names can contain spaces, but it does not
hurt to quote that as well.)

It is also possible your Scmbug integration is failing for valid
reasons. Perhaps it cannot verify the activity due to problems
contacting the change request tool (Bugzilla, I presume). Perhaps your
commit log message is not properly formatted for Scmbug to grab the bug
number.

But what about the hook itself (pre-commit) - is it executable?

Try the following simple pre-commit hook:

#!/bin/sh
touch /tmp/pre-commit-test.$$
exit 0

If you can commit, and you get the file in /tmp, then you know the
mechanics are correct and you likely have problems with your Scmbug
integration.
