The shell process running your hook script should merely have a +w
write on the directory the log file is located at; for /tmp this can be
taken for granted without any additional work.

Good time to glance over its man page and do some googling as this
seems like a way to go forward in your case.
Basically, strace captures all syscalls a process (or a process
hierarchy) does and records it into a specified log file along with
their return codes.
So you can do a test run of your hook and then inspect the log file,
grepping it for "permission denied" or EPERM (see man errno on a
nearby Unix machine).
