it currently seems to fail at the last point, the actual changing of 
passwords,

I believe the server log file might give more info, however, the type of error 
looks like a runtime syntax error or something similar. perhaps some local 
modifications are messing it up (locally: the exact svn code works perfectly). 
or the ldap user doesn't have rights to actually change other peoples 
password.
