Have you tried right clicking the folder and refreshing the status,
under the source control menu?
That should get Komodo to realize the file is missing, and then an
update will get the file for you.

To fix the error with committing, I would not start Komodo with admin
privileges.  It would be better to check which group has privileges to
your repository and then add yourself to that group, or change the
group that has write privileges to the repository to one that you are
a member of.

Hope this helps.

cheers,
Anton
