You're using the wrong way to achieve this.
Instead, configure a dummy diff tool in your Subversion config file. That dummy diff tool must do nothing but return 1 to indicate that it can't do the merge.
Here's a post explaining more detailed what to do.
But you have to ask yourself if Subversion is the right tool for you or if you should change your workflow. Preventing merging goes against the basic principle of almost any version control system I know of. Hacking something like this into them will never work reliably. So ask yourself why you need this and if it might be better to adjust your work flow.
