The command looks OK to me. What error message did you receive?

The --force-log flag is not relevant to your problem. That is only
for when you want to supply the commit message in a file, and that
file is a part of your working copy (an unusual case).

I'll answer for completeness, but it's not relevant to your problem:

svn propedit --revprop -r N svn:log url://to/your/repository

where N is the revision number whose log message you want to edit.

No, and you don't need to put the path to your repository into the
hook script; it is passed that value on the command line in $1.

Yes, and by having the filename "pre-revprop-change".

No, the pre-revprop-change hook is now active. You just haven't done
anything (like trying to edit an old revision's properties) that
would trigger it.

But the pre-revprop-change hook is not relevant to your problem. That
is for if you want to change the properties on old revisions. But
you've told us that newly-created revisions are also missing these
properties. That is what we need to focus on fixing. Unfortunately I
have no idea what could make Subversion not record the log message
and date properties.
