Ah, it looks like you're trying to add files that are in the
workcopy\MT directory.
The solution is "don't do that" :-). The MT/ directory is reserved
for monotone's internal bookkeeping stuff; your files go in the plain
old workcopy\ directory.
The bug is that we forgot to put a high-level check for this in, so
it's only the low-level integrity checks that noticed, and they don't
give very good error messages. I'll fix that.

Hope it works well for you. Let us know if you have any more
thoughts/wishes/problems...
