I know this is an old thread but for anyone in the future looking for how to add File Items via AML, here is how I was able to get it to work in Aras v12SP18:

    <Item type='File' action='add' id='New32GUID'>
      <actual_filename>C:\Path\to\MyFile\filename.pdf</actual_filename>
      <checkedout_path>C:\Path\to\MyFile</checkedout_path>
      <filename>filename.pdf</filename>
      <Relationships>
        <Item type='Located' action='add'>
          <related_id>32GUIDofVaultItemType</related_id>
        </Item>
      </Relationships>
    </Item>

The key for me to get past the "File Item cannot be added" error was to ensure the "id" attribute in the beginning had a new unique 32 character GUID.
