POST-commit hook issue - Check in works

[Matt Parks]

OK, information on my issue,

svn, version 1.6.11 (r934486)
   compiled Apr 12 2012, 11:02:08

COMMIT code works, but post-commit does not.  Here is my post commit code:

echo  "=============================" >> ${LOG}
echo "${REPOS_NAME} r${REV} ${DATE} $(${SVN}look author -r ${REV} $REPOS)" 
>> ${LOG}

##########################
### DO INITIAL CHECKOUT ###
###########################
if [ ! -e ${SVN_DEST} ]; then
      echo "directory ${SVN_DEST} does not exist creating." >> ${LOG}
      mkdir -vp ${SVN_DEST} >> ${LOG}
      /usr/bin/whoami >> ${LOG}
     echo "initial checkout: ${SVN} co --username ${USER} --password 
${PASS} -q ${SVN_SRC}${SVN_DEST} " >> ${LOG}
            ${SVN} co --username ${USER} --password ${PASS} -q ${SVN_SRC} 
${SVN_DEST} >> ${LOG} 2>&1
            if [ ${?} != 0 ]; then
                echo "checkout: RETRYING" >> ${LOG}
                rm -rf ${SVN_DEST}
                ${SVN} co --username ${USER} --password ${PASS} -q 
${SVN_SRC} ${SVN_DEST} >> ${LOG} 2>&1
                if [ ${?} != 0 ]; then
                    echo "checkout: FAILED -- FIXME" >> ${LOG}
                    tail --lines=100 ${LOG} | mail -s "svn checkout: FAILED 
for ${REPOS_NAME} on ${DATE}" ${ADMINMAIL}
                    > ${LOCKFILE}
                    exit 1

Here is the output in my LOG file:

=============================
<myRepo> r2503 2014-02-09 13:46:34 -0500 <myID>
directory /var/svn/svntmp/<myRepo>/build/ does not exist creating.
apache  -- So this is user that SVN hooks are executed as
initial checkout: /usr/bin/svn co --username apache --password ***** -q

connect to server (http://svnServer)
checkout: FAILED -- FIXME

No Proxy server is being used or in the way.

This was working, I attempted to add LDAP and had no luck getting it to 
work.  I have rolled back code and at this point I have tried so many 
things that I am not able to get it working again and my team will be in 
tomorrow and need this to work.

I need some suggestions and some time away from issue.  Lost sleep 
attempting to correct.

Please help.

Thanks
