I'm pretty sure this is the bug for which John has just posted a fix.

The thing being encountered by Tim seems to be different.  The
'.bzr/repository/upload' directory is apparently missing.  bzr always
creates it when making the repository and does not delete it.  Perhaps
a user deleted it to free up space, or Robert suggests perhaps an
antivirus program is blocking it for some reason.
