Subject: Updates to an SVN repository not being detected automatically but OK
on manual run

Hello,
I keep my global sudoers file in a Subversion repository. The idea of this
configuration is to allow various support groups the ability to update the
sudoers file, and still be able to run a sanity check on the file before
pushing it out to all of the servers in our environment.
I can update the sudoers file from any system and sync the changes via svn and
when I go to my master CF server and run cf-agent -KI it does exactly what I
expect it to do.
The problem that I am having is that it will not do this automatically. I have
tried adding a cron entry to run cf-agent -F every 5 minutes, thinking perhaps
there was something wrong with my timing, but the problem persists.
I started out using a small perl script as a front end for visudo and svn, but
there were a few occasions where someone ignored the errors from visudo and
commited a bad file anyway. This method should make it more bullet proof
assuming I can get it to run correctly.
I am including a copy of my promise file, hopefully there is something
glaringly obvious that I have just overlooked.
