SVN - Server SSL certificate untrusted from post-commit hook

Question

I'm trying to create a post-commit.bat script so that every time someone commits, a working copy automatically updates. This is my post-commit.bat:

"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\svn.exe" update C:\Temp\PROD --non-interactive --trust-server-cert --username admin --password myPassword

This is the error message I'm getting:

svn: E230001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL
'https://svn.mydomain.com/svn/prod/trunk'
svn: E230001: Server SSL certificate untrusted

It looks like the --trust-server-cert option is ignored for some reason. Interestingly, calling the batch file from cmd window works fine.

I'm using Subversion Edge server and TortoiseSVN client on Windows Server 2008.

Anybody has any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

In my case (SVN client 1.8.1) the --trust-server-cert flag did also not work. After finding this http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-users/201308.mbox/%3CCABw-3Ye6rk-zwjM7jZL-zPvSDDeH=[e-mail]%3E I upgraded to SVN 1.8.4 and the script works well. The --trust-server-cert flag is fixed.
