cannot add file `XXX' when RCS file `/.../XXX,v' already exists

Hi all

1) I screwed up something in one of my modules while adding, removing, renaming a makefile file. When I run:
cvs update -P -A -d (in directory E:\Projects\QuantLib\Linux)
I get the following message:
cvs server: nothing known about Linux/Makefile
cvs server: nothing known about Linux/makefile

Now if I add Linux\Makefile with the command:
cvs add Makefile (in directory E:\Projects\QuantLib\Linux)
the message I get is:
cvs server: scheduling file `Makefile' for addition
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently

The real problem is the commit failure:
cvs commit -m "log message" Makefile (in directory E:\Projects\QuantLib\Linux)
with the following message:
cvs server: cannot add file `Makefile' when RCS file `/cvsroot/quantlib/QuantLib/Linux/Makefile,v' already exists
cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!

I'm using WinCVS as client on Windows NT.
The CVS server is running on a Linux Debian machine

What should I do?

2) I just subscribed to this list, where's the FAQ file?
