bzr rspush error with bzrtools 1.10

[Joseph Wakeling]

Hello all,

I'm running bzr (and bzrtools) 1.10, both installed from the PPA, on
Intrepid Ibex.

When attempting rspush to a remote machine I get an error with the
following traceback:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.plugins.bzrtools.bzrtools.RsyncStreamIO: Error in
rsync protocol data stream.

I can't find a corresponding bug on Launchpad but would like to check
here before filing a report.  Any ideas what's wrong?

Beyond this error, the wider problem is that I'm trying to push a copy
of the code, _with working tree_, to a server that does not have bzr
installed -- I want to get my code from my laptop to my university's
computing cluster, and run it there.  Is there an alternative to rspush?

I've tried,

   bzr checkout . sftp://username@my.server.com/~/prog/

but this stops with an error before the working tree can be populated:

   bzr: ERROR: sftp://username@my.server.com/%7E/prog/.bzr/ is not a
   local path.

Anything else I can do?

Thanks & best wishes,
