Ok so to throw a possible issue but in my password for the svn there is a $ in it. Could this be causing the issue?
Yes, that could be the issue. When passing strings from PHP to the shell, make sure to escape them with escapeshellarg().

btw, the reason the $ is causing a problem is because the shell sees it as the token that begins a variable. When using escapeshellarg() the meta characters such as $ should be escaped for you.
