I can checkout, browse history etc... but when I try to commit any changes using Tortoise SVN I get an error:
Commit failed (details follow):
Commit blocked by pre-commit hook (exit code 255) with output:
The system cannot find the path specified.
If you want to break the lock, use the 'Check For Modifications' dialog or the repository browser.
This is happening after we set-up a new server and copied the repository data over from the old server. The error log on the server contains:

Any suggestions?
This turned out to be because the software on the new server was installed into a different folder than it was on the original server, and the folder name was hard-coded into the pre-commit hook script in the repository.
Editing pre-commit.cmd found in the hooks subfolder and correcting the path fixed the problem.
