1. Show content of log 2. Did you hook works as expected, if you run it by hand? – Lazy Badger

  1. Hook must be executable (chmod +x ...)
  2. You miss shebang string
  3. User, under which you running server for managing repository, must have RW rights for /xxx/xxx/xxxx/xxx path
  4. If you redirect output of update to STDERR, it will be shown to client
