What does the following command produce?

  M-: (file-attributes
   "c:/library/code/python/annotatex/releases/test/.bzr/checkout/dirstate") RET

Also, what does the following display?

  M-: (user-real-login-name) RET

(I suspect that somehow this file was made unreadable for you,
i.e. private to another user.  Assuming you are on Windows XP, the
test in file-readable-p does not take into account Windows native
security settings enforced through ACLs.  So it could think the file
is readable by you, when it really isn't.)
