As what user? As I've suggested a couple times now, I think the problem is that, when the hook script runs as the svn user, it doesn't have those ssh keys. For example if your svn user's home directory is /home/svn then you will need to have a directory /home/svn/.ssh/ that contains these passwordless keys you mentioned, and they and the directory must of course be readable by the svn user as well.
