svnlook cat -t $TXN $REPO broken ?

Seems that trying to create a pre-commit hook script that limits the size of
a file to be committed is not an easy task.

svnlook has been recommended but I have yet to see it work properly the "-t"
option does not seem to find the transaction.

svnlook cat -t $TXN $REPO always returns an error

# Check file size. do not allow Access files greater than 1MB.
    REPOS=$1
    TXN=$2
    SVNLOOK=/svn/bin/svnlook

    # get a list of all the files changed
    $SVNLOOK changed -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | while read type file
    do
        # skip all the files unless they end in .mdb
        [ ${file##*.} != "mdb" ] && continue #Skip unless a .mdb suffix
        # I cat out the file and then count the characters.
        # If it is greater than 1mb, I put it in my error array.
        # Is there a better way to get the size of a file w/ svnlook?
                       if [ $($SVNLOOK cat -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" $file | wc
-c) -ge "1000000" ]
error here ?? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        then
           $error["$file"]=""$file: We can't commit Access databases larger
than 1mb"
        fi
    done
