It says that, but it's lying. It really isn't going to charge you.

EDIT: My apologies, I thought you were trying to download it on your computer. It WILL charge you again.

Re-download it in iTunes on your computer for free.

They seem to have implemented a new system to break some of the ability for people to illegally share things.

These messages say that you have to either download the App on your computer or re-buy it on the phone. Just download it on your computer and will work fine.

Try seeing if you can write a review for it on you mac. If you can, then the computer knows you own it and you shouldn't be charged. If you can't write a review, then the computer thinks you don't own it and you will be charged.

Good tip!

I've had to update my FAQ for our app (100sounds) because of this change.

It appears this limitation has been removed!
