Problem with branch and checkout

I must be doing something wrong here! Here's what I did>

1. Create a new file-based repository
file://somewhere/Repos

2. Create a project in it:

file://somewhere/Repos/Project

3. Checkout the project to my drive:

C:\My Documents\Project

4. Add a directory and some files so I have:

C:\My Documents\Project\Dir\file1....etc.

5. Commit this -- no problems

6. Using Tortoise, do branch/tag to create:

file://somewhere/Repos/Project/newdir

in the repository

7. checkout the new branch to give me:

C:\My Documents\Project\newdir\file1....etc.

so, now I have two directories in the Project subdirectory.

8. do some edits in the new directory then commit -- OK

9. Looking at the Project directory in the folder browser I see a red !. however within that directory nothing is outstanding.

10. try to do an update on the Project directory, get the messages:

Error: Failed to add directory 'C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Project\newdir': a versioned directory of the same name already exists

I'm obviously doing something weird. What I want to do is branch "dir" created in step 4. to "newdir" then do my new work there. The error message mystifies me. What is the correct way to do what I'm trying to do?
