1) You're not providing a path for the diff command are you sure that it's on the PATH in the environment that svn is running the command with? 2) You probably don't want to write your test using the system provided diff command. There are platforms such as Windows that provide no diff command by default. Even if the platform provides a diff command the output may not match your expected output. You probably want to write out a python script of some sort to act as your diff command. The python script doesn't even have to actually produce a diff, it just needs to verify that the command is run with the expected arguments and that SVN passes the output back through to the user. So in this case I'd make a tiny python script that just prints out the command line arguments and the test suite can look for that output.
