push --overwrite just forces the revision contents, it doesn't change the format.
I've used "bzr upgrade sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/...." before

It sounds like the problem is that this was attempted one time, and now there is a .bzr.backup directory lying around that is preventing it from being done again.

With an sftp client you could "sftp sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/; cd path; mv .bzr.backup .bzr.backup.old"

And then upgrade should work.

Alternatively 'bzr upgrade' could do some sort of .bzr.backup.N (.1, .2, .3... etc) chaining. But I'm not sure what the best answer is.
