This is usually because you are attempting to create a class ID or a Qdisc ID which already exists.
Check what value $HANDLE is on each iteration, perhaps using an echo on each pass to display it. I think you'll find it is trying to use the same value twice.

Subject: tc is giving an error: RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Hello,
I'm using tc to limit the bandwidth of our wireless customers. I have a
working script, but I'm not happy with it. I'm trying to write a more
sophisticated script, but when I run it, it give me this error:
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
I have no idea what this error means or how to fix it. Here is a portion
of the script (the whole script shapes several interfaces):
IDEV='eth5'
TC='/sbin/tc'
IPS='/etc/sysconfig/shaper/shape.ips'
# high priority destination ports - I'll fill these in later (when this
# thing works)
HIGHPORT=
# low priority destination ports
LOWPORT=

# I use the last byte of the customer's IP's for the handle, which range

done
$TC filter add dev $IDEV parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 15\
u32 match ip dst 0.0.0.0/0 flowid $HANDLE:2

There are bound to other problems with this script, but until I can get
past the current one, I'm dead in the water. TIA
