Every protocol using ssh should use the 'ssh' scheme, so bzr+shh and
sftp.

You're not the first one to fall into this trap (even if it's
documented) which clearly hints that bzr should certainly accept all of
them as valid synomyns (and maybe issue a warning).

Care to file a bug for that ?

Is that double '=' intended ?

That's unexpected, 'ssh' should have worked. Did you try adding '-Dauth'
to the parameters to get more feedback there ?
