I try to make checkout from my machine to another over sftp:

$ bzr co --lightweight . sftp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/~/src/project

and got error:

Parent of "sftp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/~/src/project" does not exist.

On remote machine bzr is not installed.
On local machine installed bzr 0.12.
Both local and remote machines are running on Linux.

Traceback from .bzr.log:

encoding stdout as sys.stdout encoding 'KOI8-R'
got branch format Bazaar-NG Metadir branch format 5
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/bzrlib/commands.py", line 623, in run_bzr_catch_errors
    return run_bzr(argv)

    ret = run(*run_argv)

    return self.run(**all_cmd_args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/bzrlib/builtins.py", line 806, in run
    raise errors.BzrCommandError('Parent of "%s" does not exist.'
BzrCommandError: Parent of "sftp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/~/src/project" does not exist.

return code 3


Note that push to this location works OK.
But I cannot create working tree on remote machine because I don't have bzr there
because remote machine has only python 2.3.

I make test on win32 and have another error:
bzr: ERROR: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

Here traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Bazaar\sandbox\bzr.dev\bzrlib\commands.py", line 637, in run_bzr_catch_errors
    return run_bzr(argv)

  File "D:\Bazaar\sandbox\bzr.dev\bzrlib\builtins.py", line 837, in run
    os.mkdir(to_location)
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument


Looking at the help of checkout command it's not clear that checkout argument
TO_LOCATION should be *only* local filepath. Do I need file a bug report?

P.S. Does anyone try to create standalone bzr executable for Linux?
