This would seem to mean that the files are already there.  Assuming
you're checking out into a clean directory, could you possibly be
checking the same files out twice?

If not, it probably means that you didn't clean out the directory
as much as you should.

Are you entering the exact same commands?  You might want to print
out those commands to a log file and run them by hand, in order.

Why not?  That would seem to be the solution (or, actually, put
something in the script to remove the file).
