There are basically three steps involved with this:
1. set up a secondary repository
This involves creating it and initialising it with svnsync. After this step,
you should be able to pull changes from the primary repository by invoking
svnsync locally.
2. provide access to the secondary repository
This then allows you to push (as opposed to pull) changes from the primary to
the secondary repository. Further, it allows you to check out from the
secondary repository. You should disallow checkins and revprop changes except
for the dedicated svnsync user though, as documented. This seems to be set up
correctly already.
3. connect the repositories
This involves creating a post-commit hook that svnsyncs the changes to the
secondary repository and one for the rev-prop changes, but you seem to have
these set up already.
4. create a transparent write-proxy
This requires Apache (the rest could be dove with svnserve, too) and should
also be documented. I never made this step though but only the former three,
since the write-proxy wasn't my requirement.

In what stage are you, what works, what are the errors otherwise?

I understand that you are tired of them, but people here haven't seen them
even once, so they can't give any suggestions how to fix them...

This sounds strange, what exactly fails, what are the errors?
