To me, it actually looks like the drive is readonly. And we currently 
have a bug that when running 'bzr status' in a readonly directory, it 
tries to update the stat cache, and doesn't fail gracefully.

Wouter, you know the debian bug (I've forgotten the number).

Can you create a launchpad bug (and link the debian bug if possible)?

I don't know for sure that this is what he is experiencing, but it 
sounds like it.

It also sounds like he might be using the wrong bzrlib, but I won't 
worry about that yet.
