Serving mjw.mt allows access to mjw.mt.* _as a group_.  So if you
say
  $ monotone pull localhost mjw.mt.test3
it won't work, but if you say
  $ monotone pull localhost mjw.mt
then you'll pull all of mjw.mt.*.

If you want to be able to pull individual branches, say
  $ monotone serve localhost mjw.mt.test{1,2,3}

(It might work to serve mjw.mt as well as those, but I'm not sure what
happens with the netsync code if you have overlapping collections...)
