Keywords are limited, please see SVN documentation here:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn-book.html#svn.advanced.props.spec
ial.keywords
You will find that the 'Author' keyword is available but you customized
'MyFunctionalProperty' not.

You'll probably have to use a pre-commit hook instead of a post-commit
one. Just before committing, your script will change the file header and
on success, the file (or list of files) will be commited.

The best solution is the pre-commit hook call a home-made script. I've
been working with Clearcase for 5 years (so I know triggers) and the
_same_thing can be done with SVN hooks.
