Hi Niklaus
thanks for the hint. Actually when I am using your command line with 
--limit=10 I get an error message that --limit is not supported by my 
svn version.
Using your command line without the --limit option as the buildbot user 
on a shell works fine i.e. an emtpy svn.err file. After this test I 
commented out the line 314 in svnpoller and add a new line looking like 
this:

#args.extend(["--limit=%d" % (self.histmax), self.svnurl])
args.extend([self.svnurl])

The SVNPoller however still doesn't work and comes up with the same 
error message every time he tries to poll.

Unfortunately I do not know so much about twisted matrix stuff. Could 
you give me another hint on how I can get more info out of the script

Thanks
