The mercurial repository has already been created for you, when you selected "use 
mercurial" in the "Select Features" menu of the project.

For example, anonymous clone does work:

    $ hg clone http://hg.sv.gnu.org/hgweb/debianrescueimg
    real URL is http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/debianrescueimg
    destination directory: debianrescueimg
    no changes found
    updating to branch default
    0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

and the web-view also works: http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/debianrescueimg .

I see you've added two public ssh keys, so first let's check your ability to 
connect to the repository.
Please try the following:

    $ ssh address@hidden uname
    Sorry, you are not allowed to execute that command.

If you see the same message ("you are not allowed") - this is good: it means 
connecting with SSH works.
If you get:

    $ ssh address@hidden uname
    Permission denied (publickey).

Then the public ssh keys you've uploaded do not much the private key you are 
using.

Once SSH connection works, you should be able to push using the following 
command:

    hg push ssh://address@hidden/debianrescueimg


Let us know if this works.
