Why is it so difficult to add a file?

Load is only supposed to load the repository workspace data to disk.
To share a project you use the share operation.
You have a stream with a component and no files in there. So load does not load any files to disk. If you have a project in Eclipse (do you use Eclipse or Visual Studio?) you can use the Team>Share and the select the project to be shared, the repository workspace to use, the component etc. Once you shared data into a repository workspace, you can flow with a Stream. Other members can have repository workspaces that flow with the same Stream and see new data delivered to the stream.
To get familiar with the concepts I would suggest to read:

Thanks! I'm clear on the Load now. I don't know where the "Team>Share" option is. Is that within VS or something?
I don't want to load a project from VS in. I just want to bring a collection of files in to my repository component, and then deliver them to the source control stream.

I think Ralph was reffering to File->Team->Share - a menu item in the Eclipse shell. This shares the content of the Eclipse project. There is a similar function in Visual Studio.
However, if you just want to add files - use the WebUI and you can add files directly to the stream. Look in the Source Control Section of the webUI, click on the relevant stream and add the files that way.
