The script is run as the same user as Subversion itself, not as your
user. That means that any files that are going to be changed by the
script must be owned by or at least writeable by that user.

You will need to switch that that user before testing, e.g.:

        # su svnuser -s /bin/bash

You can rerun the script as many times as you want by just passing in
the repository and revision on the commandline:

        $ ./post-commit $PWD/.. 23

(assuming you are inside the REPOS/hooks directory and revision 23 was a
revision where something interesting happened).
