Comment (by markoheijnen):

 I think you use the argument "term_names" for adding terms to a post.
 Since it is a hierarchical taxonomy you should probably use the argument
 "terms" instead of "terms_names". Passing ID's is saver.

 I'm not sure why you get the error. Can you tell what exact arguments you
 use and if that term name exists multiple times? The code already tries to
 find the id's for the posts. See
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-
 server.php#L1173. But somehow in your case something goes wrong.
