You need to share 'project1' folder, instead of only 'devt'.
Shared repository holds many data in 'project1/.bzr' and bzr *should*
have access to this folder. But unfortunately bzr cannot reach this directory
if you don't share 'project1'. This means that you need to share all
your repository and therefore all your branches inside this repository.
I hope it's not the problem to you.

The command itself has error: you need to checkout branch instead of
whole repository (you cannot checkout the repository):

bzr checkout \\server\project1\devt project1

This error I already fix in current development branch of bzr.
My patch lands today.
So next release (26 February) will have fix inside.

However I can upload new version with this fix if you wish to test it.

What you mean when you say "fixed"?
