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!
