A full diagnosis will have to wait for someone who knows more about
bzr-dbus. However, I suspect an interim fix is to disable / uninstall
the bzr-dbus plugin on your server.

Specifically, the error message indicates that Bazaar can't get a dbus
session on the server. It won't try to do this if you don't have the
plugin installed.
