This sounds like an aleready locked branch, thought the message error should be clearer.

Can you tell us which bzr version you're using and provide a complete traceback from ~/.bzr.log ('bzr version' will tell you where it's located) ?

I figured out that it is a permission problem of the folder and files I am trying to upload. The permission was set for owner root and group staff. I changed the owner and group to nobody.nogroup, and it now uploads fine. Thanks for the reply.
