How did you clone that bare repository? In particular, how did you provide the path to that repo.
If I understand correctly it must be in a URL format (e.g. file://) to ensure that you get distinct repos, rather than two interrelated repos (thought the docs discuss the issue as being the transport mechanism).
The same issue probably applies to the subsequent clones of the bare repo.
Perhaps focus on the error message and decide if "." is the correct way of thinking about the path.

Why is the remote end of the connection reporting the error that it is looking at "." (as opposed to a proper path/repo)?
I could easily be wrong - I haven't double checked the man pages at all, but thought a comment may help your research.
