Sorry, but your guess was correct. The sync source is svnserve
accessed through a SSH tunnel.

Does this tell me that svnsync is writing an error message to
svnserve or somewhere else? Where would that message be saved/shown? I
couldn't find it and AFAIK svnserve doesn't have logging facilities?
I'm starting svnserve using Upstart currently like the following:

> exec /usr/bin/svnserve --daemon --root /[...] --listen-host [...] --listen-port [...]

Upstart logs STDERR and STDOUT automatically this way and did for
other errors in the past while e.g. starting the service itself, but
this time no error was logged.

Your were correct again, that was the root cause: I had access
permissions in the source repo on the mentioned path, visible after
running with "strace -s 255 ...", which prevented it from being synced
to the mirror in the past and now the commit in that path lead to the
error. I changed the permissions, rebuild the mirror-repo to include
the path and now everything seems to work again.

Thanks a lot!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
