When using svnsync there are usually three versions of svn running:
source server, target server, and the svnsync program itself. What
version of svnsync you were using? Was it 1.7 rc3 as well? (BTW, rc4
was published recently).
What protocols your svnsync is using to access the source and the
target servers? (file, svn, http(s))?
Your OS - some Unix? Is it 32 or 64 bit?

The more known URL to the same book is

Can the same error code produce different text messages? I'd think
that the error code in the book is wrong. Though there it is actually
for the "initialize" command.

In your target repository - do you check user name in the pre-commit
hook? Only the one special user that svnsync runs as has to be allowed
to write there.
