The $$ is inside the script. I don't see how it could be later.
Rerunning the command, I think I misinterprteted the error messages before.
The script is a wrapper around another script that is calling svnadmin to
create a Subversion repository. svnadmin doesn't like something about
its calling context and is complaining that it can't write a directory
atomically.
Not bash's problem. Carry on!
