If you are pushing to "bzr+ssh://..." I believe you need:

[bzr+ssh://person@host/home/Bazaar/...]

Though I'm a little unclear what host you are pushing from and what host you
are hosting the branch, etc.

Also, at least the default email plugin only sends a notification on "commit"
not on every push. However, I think someone has a branch that sends an email
any time the branch tip changes.
