Getting the message "[Error 145] The directory is not empty: u'C:/Documents and Settinds/.../vms4810/.bzr/checkout/limbo/new-8/source/lwmem" when creating a branch or a checkout.

After creating a repository "\\Localserver\Backups\Projects\Firmware\vms" and mainline branch "\\Localserver\Backups\Projects\Firmware\vms\vms48" on our server, I am trying to create a mirror branch in a local working directory.

Following the online tutorials and documentation, I created my local repository...

$ cd C:\Documents and Settings\...\Firmware
$ mkdir vms
$ bzr init-repo vms

then under that directory, try to create the mirror branch...

$ cd C:\Documents and Settings\...\Firmware\vms
$ bzr branch \\Localserver\Backups\Projects\Firmware\vms\vms48 vms4801

It appears that the branch command starts and begins creating the local files, but then fails with the following message...

bzr: ERROR: [Error 145] The directory is not empty: u'C:/Documents and Settings/.../Firmware/vms/vms4801/.bzr/checkout/limbo/new-8/source/include'

Inside the directory, the .bzr folder is created, but no source files are created.

I then tried the same thing using the checkout command, with similar results and the same error message except with ".../source/lwmem" at the end.

What am I doing wrong here? Is it possible that there is a directory structure issue with the original repository branch on the server that causes the failure? I did not exclude (ignore) any files or folders in the initial repository and branch generation on the server, which includes all files created during a Freescale CodeWarrior workspace session and code compilation, except that the build object files were cleaned before the branch was created on the server.

Thanks for any help,
