This is a known bug which has been fixed in newer versions of Bazaar.

It is happening because you are removing the same file twice. The fix is 
in bzr 1.0+

I wonder if there isn't a second bug that the "bzr rm peter.properties" 
is actually removing the meta-data, and then complaining that the file 
doesn't exist. It seems to me that if the file isn't there, the "bzr rm" 
shouldn't care.
