Bazaar always tries to find a native bzr branch first when you specify a
location. If the server returns some error indicating that the specified
files was present it tries if a branch in some other format (such as
Subversion) is present. In the case of a 401 it apparently immediately
aborts. I'm not sure whether this is the right thing to do but I'm also
not sure whether ignoring the 401 and trying other formats, such as svn,
is ok.

Is this by any chance a google-code hosted project?

As a work-around you can tell bzr that the repository is a subversion
repository by prefixing the url with 'svn+', e.g.:

$ bzr branch svn+http://myproject.unfuddle.com/svn/myproject_myproject/

Cheers,

Jelmer
