Hi Tim,

This is bzr seeing an errno 13 from the OS when it tries to take that
lock.  It is strange that it's trying to lock when you are doing a
readonly operation. I would like to see the traceback which should be
in the server log, and perhaps an admin could do a 'ls -lR' and check
the permissions are as they should be.

I'm apparently successfully pulling from there at the moment.

This is also just the OS reporting the connection was reset, similar
to what Eli has.  I think either the process is being killed on the
server or there is some kind of connection glitch.  I suppose it's
possible it's a bug in bzr but I can't think what would cause it to
break just then, and I haven't heard of it elsewhere.  Getting a trace
of bzr running on the server could be good.
