Yep, it looks like replay requires the branches to have compatible formats.

You are running "bzr replay -r0..", when you should be replaying from
the revision after where the branches are identical.  So if r1 of your
SVN branch has identical contents to the final revision of your CVS
history, run "bzr replay -r2.. svnbranch".
