Turns out it was the way I was referring to the repository.  Whenever I 
was referring to the branches I'd use $SOC_URL/branches/branch_name with 
$SOC_URL being aliased to http://server.com:port/PATH/svn/

% svnmerge.py init  $SOC_URL/branches/jeremyl_branch_test

So when this was expanded it would end up with a double slash in the 
URL.  Once I removed the final '/' from my environment variable, it 
started working fine.

Thanks again for your help.  The script now seems to be working fine,

Cheers,
Jeremy
