maybe your outgoing ssh connections are blocked by a firewall,
you can try:
bzr branch https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~keryx/keryx/devel
or maybe bzr branch https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~keryx/keryx/trunk

[Martin Pool (mbp)]

The error is in sending xmlrpc not ssh, but Marius's workaround is correct.

If you have an SSH key registered with Launchpad you can also use

bzr+ssh://bazaar.edge.launchpad.net/~keryx/keryx/devel
