Tortoise Bazaar commit password

I've recently set up a Bazaar repo on my FTP server (only access I have to back end, please don't go into reasons why I shouldn't use FTP).

I have managed to get everything working with short cuts such that I can include user and pass in the ftp URL:

ftp://"user":pass@host/path

Though I am trying to set up script that I can commit from a local directory with a batch file. The issue is I still require to put in the password everytime.

bzr commit "E:\Ryan - Backup\Other\test" -m batched

I had a crack at using the authentication.conf file but it either didn't work for me in this situation or I was doing it wrong. I placed the file in the .bzr folder so it was located at:

E:\Ryan - Backup\Other\Test\.bzr\authentication.conf

With the contents being:

# Identity on foo.net
[site]
scheme=ftp
host=site
user=username
password=pass

Am I doing something wrong or would I have to create a plugin to do what I am after.

P.S End result was to run a batch at startup and shut down so I could sync file updates between my computers.

UPDATE: I also tried the guide that describes the location of:

C:\Users\rfleming\AppData\Roaming\bazaar\2.0

for the authetication.conf file, this didn't work either

UPDATE 2: Placing the authentication.conf into the: 

C:\Users\rfleming\AppData\Roaming\bazaar\2.0

Worked fine and I just ended up using checkout and push for syncing and no manually password typing was required!
