Hi,

This looks like an incompatibility between bzr and something running
on the server that is holding the file open.  Can you please file a
bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr and include the error traceback
from bzr.log, which will tell us which specific file it is?

It may be a conflict with WinSSHD but I have heard of people using
that successfully.  The other thing that tends to cause this type of
error is virus scanners locking files while bzr is trying to use them.
 Do you have one on this server?
