Forgot to mention - I tried to run git-update-server-info from the
repository on the server. I got the same results. BTW - if it works OK

Make it executable on the client side before pushing (i.e. in
.git/hooks/post-update) or on the server side after pushing?

I ran git-daemon on the server side like this:

sudo git-daemon --base-path=/pub/git/ --export-all --listen=kites
