1. I'd add "--no-auth-cache --non-interactive" options as well,
and "@echo off" at the start and "exit 0" line at the end.

2. http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#website-auto-update

3. What protocol is used by the working copy at D:/websites/site1
(file, svn, http, https)?

For https you may want "--trust-server-cert" as well.

4. What user runs the bat file?

If it is "Local System" (if I correctly remember the name), it does
not have rights to access the network.

When debugging my hooks I used to add echo statements that wrote
something to an external log file.
