When a2 does not exist on the ftp server, I get the behaviour mentioned above.

When only a2 exists i get the following:
bzr: ERROR: FTP failed for path: /a2/.bzr: error w/ stat: 550 /a2/.bzr: The system cannot find the file specified.

When a2/.bzr exists:
bzr: ERROR: No such file: 'ftp://xarch@xsteve.at/a2/.bzr/revision-history': 550 /a2/.bzr/revision-history: The system cannot find the file specified.


When I delete the branch-lock.tmp.... file
I get also the /a2/.bzr/revision-history failure.

Is there a way to check that?
