Hi Rick, I can't really work it out from just that.  If you interrupt
bzr while it's apparently hung, you should get a python traceback
either on the terminal or in ~/.bzr.log; if you paste that it might
explain something.

You can also try putting 'log+sftp://' at the start of the url to get
some more debug information into the log file.

By the way, I wouldn't really recommend making your backups into the
root account; it won't directly hurt anything but it's better to keep
root just for tasks that need it.
