I believe that you need to remove the `.tmpl' ~ those templates are not executed, they are there to give you something to start from...

> # The pre-revprop-change hook is invoked before a revision property

> #
> # [1] REPOS-PATH (the path to this repository)
> # [2] REV (the revision being tweaked)
> # [3] USER (the username of the person tweaking the
> property)
> # [4] PROPNAME (the property being set on the revision)
> # [5] ACTION (the property is being 'A'dded,
> 'M'odified, or 'D'eleted)
> #
> # [STDIN] PROPVAL ** the new property value is passed via STDIN.

> # If the hook program exits with success, the propchange happens; but
