I can vouch for the start syntax working. I've been using it for a
couple of weeks to do both incremental dumps and deltification for our
repository. The dumps are definitely getting created just fine, and I
haven't noticed excessive database growth, so I assume deltification is
working. The start command always seems to return a zero error code, so
you can't really check the result of the svnadmin call within the
post-commit script. I suppose you couold write a wrapper batch file
that post-commit calls that will log the error code somewhere.

I've attached my post-commit script if it will help.
