My guess is that at least one of these errors is something to do with
MacOSX's filesystem being case-insensitive.  I had a similar problem
when I was converting the cpphs tree from CVS to darcs - the existence
of two files called cpphs.hs and Cpphs.hs simultaneously at some point
in the history, led to conflicts.  I'm afraid I don't know how to fix it
- I just gave up and did the conversion on Linux instead.

This is the one that looks like case-insensitivity.  I'll bet there is
already a file called 'test' (rather than 'Test').
