It's saying "file exists" because the interface is already defined at the time the script tries to define it again. I'm pretty sure (not certain) this is because you're mixing old-style ifcfg files with NetworkManager. Since these are two different ways of accomplishing the same end, you're going to have to pick one or the other. It sounds like you're using ifcfg on the other server as well.
Personally, I prefer ifcfg, so I would stop and chkconfig off the NetworkManager service, change NM_CONTROLLED to be no in each ifcfg and reboot the system (sometimes you can get away with just restarting the network service but if it's already off the network you might as well use this as a chance to clear out anything NM has done in the background before people start depending on this server again).

-d, --debug
Turn on debugging.
--version
