Your problem is a filename that contains a newline. Look closely at the 'bzr status' output:

"""
  Research/Cyclone III/Nios II Custom Instruction
User Guide.pdf
"""

That file name is almost certainly the problem.

There's a few issues here:
 * bzr ought to support files with newlines in their name, but doesn't.
 * bzr ought to be reporting the error more clearly than it is.
 * bzr shouldn't allow you to add that file in the first place. IIRC plain 'bzr add' does prevent this, but maybe qbzr avoids that check? If so we should move the check in bzr to somewhere better so that qbzr etc can't dodge it by accident.

Basically though this is a duplicate of the bug that we don't support newlines, so I'll mark it as a duplicate of that.
