[Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/bzr/.bzr/checkout/dirstate'

Hi,

I am constantly getting "No handlers could be found for logger "bzr"". I read that I might have to run "bzr break-lock" but when I do that I get:

me:/bzr$ bzr break-lock -Derror
No handlers could be found for logger "bzr"
bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.errors.LockFailed: Cannot lock /bzr/.bzr/checkout/dirstate: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/bzr/.bzr/checkout/dirstate'

LockFailed: Cannot lock /bzr/.bzr/checkout/dirstate: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/bzr/.bzr/checkout/dirstate'

The permission for "distate" is 775 and for "~/.bzr.log" it's 775. I'm running Debian on the server.

I got a branch on my laptop (a Mac OS X 10.5) that I've tried to commit but when I do I just get:

bzr: ERROR: Cannot lock LockDir(chroot--1216836884:///bzr/.bzr/branch/lock): Permission denied: "/bzr/.bzr/branch/lock/gghigpu843.tmp": [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/bzr/.bzr/branch/lock/gghigpu843.tmp'

The branch is listet as a "pending merge" when I run "bzr status".

bzr info (on the laptop) yields:
me: bzr info
Checkout (format: pack-0.92)
Location:
       checkout root: .
  checkout of branch: bzr+ssh://<user>@<server>/bzr/

Related branches:
  parent branch: bzr+ssh://<user>@<server>/bzr/

bzr info (on server) yields:
No handlers could be found for logger "bzr"
Standalone tree (format: pack-0.92)

I've tried "bzr break-lock URL" and "bzr break-lock" (from the laptop), "bzr break-lock" (on the server) but nothing seems to help. Any ideas on how these two issues can be solved?

I guess I would like to:
1. Get rid on the "No handlers could be found for logger "bzr""-error
2. Be able to commit my pending merge.

Oscar
