`bzr ignore` problems aka file system access issues

[Bulgrien, Kevin]

> Today, however, after the IT fiasco, running `bzr ignore` produces errors like:
>
> $ cd /c
> $ bzr ignore pending.un
> bzr: ERROR: [Errno 13] Permission denied

> $ tail -21 /c/Documents\ and\ Settings/kbulgrien/My\

Ugh:

C:\>echo >krb
Access is denied.

And:

$ bzr revert
 M  .bzrignore
 M  msys/1.0/home/kbulgrien/.profile
bzr: ERROR: Failed to rename C:/.bzr/checkout/limbo/new-1 to C:/.bzrignore: [Error 5] Access is denied

Permissions are forbidding creation of new files in C:\ so in this case it is not likely a Bazaar issue except that perhaps its log is not as helpful as it might be.
