Data Help cannot concatenate Ksh variables ?

Cannot combine these two strings into one line, either as a 3rd variable or echo or printing ? Frustrating.

Code:
for i in `cat /scripts/pathList.dat`
do
    OldRepo= grep Oldhostname ${i}/.svn/entries | tail -1
    NewRepo= grep Oldhostname ${i}/.svn/entries | tail -1 | sed '/Oldhostname/ s/Oldhostname/Newhostname/g' | sed 's/\/oldpath1//g' | sed 's/\/oldpath2//g'
    echo "cd $i"
    echo "svn relocate $OldRepo $NewRepo" 
done

this always returns:
Code:
cd /path   ( this is ok )
svn relocate $OldRepo  
$NewRepo

Code:
I want "svn relocate $OldRepo $NewRepo "    all on the same line

I have tried RepLoc="$OldRepo $NewRepo"
echo $RepLoc with the same result each on a separate line.

and numerous others using echo -e with \c but nothing I do will concatenate $OldRepo $NewRepo

Please advise
Smilie

NAME
uclean - remove redundant files from upstream source packages SYNOPSIS
uclean FILE [ NEWFILE... ] DESCRIPTION
Uclean is an attempt to automate the "cleanup" procedure that can be needed for some package upstream tarballs. It will try to unpack it, remove cruft like CVS directories, .svn directories and forgotten object files. Then it will recreate the tarball, using the highest compression ratio. The resulting file is either stored under the same name (the old one is renamed) or as a new file if you specify it as the last argument. SEE ALSO
