I'm not sure I follow everything that you've done, but if you did:

bzr serve --allow-writes --directory C:\a\b\c

Then all paths will be relative to the "c" directory, so from the other
machine, you would do:

bzr branch bzr://machine1/

If you want to supply the 'c' then you want to do

bzr serve --allow-writes --directory C:\a\b

Which then has "c" as a subdirectory of the directory you are serving.

Also, I don't know if "bzr:\\machine1\" works, I think you have to give it as
a URL, such as: "bzr://machine1/c". (just like http:// or sftp://, or ftp://).
