BK won't apply changes to files that you've modified locally. The only way
around it is to save a patch for that file using bk diffs -u <filename> >
/tmp/bk.diffs, then do a bk unedit <filename>. Repeat for all files
mentioned. Once done, redo your pull and then reapply you're changes using
patch. I've been campaigning for BK to automate this for some time so that
it works like cvs. However, they continue to resist ....

There's nothing to resolve as the pull has failed completely because of
above. The only time you need to resolve is if you've committed changes to
files that have also been changed in the parent and BK's usually good
merging process can't cope.
