I supose that in the file that you are trying to insert a bloc name is the same as the file name, wich is not possible.

Open the file "Block FWDS_FP" and remame the bloc of the same name of the file, save it and retry to insert the file.
 
When you have inserted a complete file into an other the file becomes a bloc.

An other possibility is that you have created a bloc in wich there is already a bloc with the same name.

Try maybe 'purge all'...that may delete any references left behind.

What JOSEPH said is truly the thing you are ought to do. First PURGE the drawing. Then COPY the Block to a new drawing, RENAME it to say some xx name, and bring it back to the present drawing. This will help you with resolving the problem
