It does.  That's actually what the problem is.  On the first run, you
must specify the name of a directory that does not exist:

bzr baz-import $NEW_DIR foo at bar--lala/category--branch--version

All you have to do is stick a symlink to pybaz in your bzrtools
directory.  I ensure the bzrtools directory is in your path in __init__.py.

|   at /home/jaq/.bazaar/plugins/bzrtools-0.6.1/baz_import.py line 229,
in get_remaining_revisions()
|   see ~/.bzr.log for debug information

The only candidate I can see for explaining this is
227:            version = last_patch.version

The codepath you tripped over assumes that if the target directory
exists, it is the location of a previous import, not a freshly-initted tree.

On http://bazaar.canonical.com/BzrTools, it says "The bzr branch for
current bzr is at: http://panoramicfeedback.com/opensource/bzr/bzrtools"
