Sorry.  The message seems to indicate that this is a feature and not a 
bug so I didn't provide all the details.

Here's the message:

============
Local to local copy not supported

Invalid repository:  ../C:/projects/dvi_slide


darcs failed:  (scp) failed to fetch: 
../C:/projects/dvi_slide/_darcs/inventory


Error, Darcs operation failed (exit code 2)
=============

Something I just noticed was the (scp) in the message.  If it's trying 
to  use scp then I can see why it would fail.
