Bzr Push hangs at Fetching revisions:Get stream source

[Rick]

I have a bzr project locally and am trying to put this onto my server

I don't want to just do an "upload" as I want all the full version controlled
project on the server as a backup. I am trying:

bzr push sftp://root@myserver.com/path

But it just hangs indefinitely at: "- Fetching revisions:Get stream source "

I can't figure out, despite searching on this, what would be the issue, any
advice is appreciated
