What happens if you run "freebsd-update install" ?
Same message.
You may want to just try and run the 'fetch' again.
freebsd-update -r 7.1-RELEASE fetch
If you haven't installed anything, there is nothing to rollback. A
feature that is part of freebsd-update.
I guess I should have realized that, at least.

I'm not aware of any method to do this, other than to remove everything
under /var/db/freebsd-update and start from the beginning.
OK, and oh well... I wish there were some way to automate the diffing
out of the $FreeBSD lines. I suppose those might be the artifact of
some previous upgrade, so that the file version present is not the one
expected for FreeBSD 6.1.
I believe there is with a handcrafted mergemaster.rc file. I was told by
Colin that this 'bug' was introduced at some point with freebsd-update,
as branches at one point weren't tagged.
When they started to get tagged, freebsd-update started to compare.
