You should use the :

        $ openssl ca -updatedb

to update the index file. Than all should be fine. I suggest, anyway to get a patch
(that should be available, I do not know where exactly) that allows you to issue
certificates with the same DN.

Ops, I suppose the patches have not yet been included. You can download from the
ftp://ftp.openca.org site the patches needed (ca.c) tu support the updatedb tag.

I am wondering why it is not been included in the main package. I thought it was.
