'bzr push' wants to create the directory if it is not already a bzr
branch. Also, older versions of bzr had problems pushing to the root
directory of a filesystem. (should be fixed in 0.9).

One workaround that you can do with bzr > 0.9 (if the directory already
exists), is to use 'bzr init' to create a remote branch, and then push
into it.

bzr init ftp://username@ftp.address/
bzr push ftp://username@ftp.address/

Should work.

There could be permission problems, preventing you from creating the
lock directories. Or any of a number of things. If you can join
'irc.freenode.net' channel '#bzr', we can give you live support, rather
than emailing back and forth.

It is possible that your ISP doesn't like the filenames bzr is trying to
use. (I recall geocities only allowing specific file names, like .txt or
.html, and it would barf if you tried to put anything else there).
