That message comes from your shell, not fossil, because your command does
not properly escape the '&' character, which is special in unix-like shells.
You are running two commands:

fossil add somefile.r

is run in the BACKGROUND because of the & character.

then you try to run:

s

The simplest workaround is to quote the filename:

fossil add 'somefile.r&s'
