The translation files should be committed in a flat format to CVS. For  
examples you can have a look at other translations such as hu, nl, fr.  
Make sure you look at the DRUPAL-6--1 tagged versions.

A development snapshot (6.x-1.x-dev) is created automatically by a  
batch job which runs every 12 hours.

These files are added automtically. You don't need to commit them and

This seems like a perfectly normal structure. In the README in the POT  
tarball (http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal- 
pot-6.x-1.0.tar.gz) the structure is described.
