I'm guessing one side isn't translating the paths the way you think it is.

You might try:

"bzr branch bzr+ssh://localhost/"

Or you might try rewriting the URL to "/pub/bzr-repos" and then use
"bzr+ssh://localhost/repo-foo".

You can also try using "-Dhpss" and then checking the ~/.bzr.log file to
see what requests are being made.
