You can't use freebsd-update, unless you are running a -RELEASE version.
You will have to recompile from source to update this system:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html

(relevant section: 24.5.2)

Using RELENG_7_1_0_RELEASE as the tag in the method above will get you
7.1-RELEASE, and you can then start using freebsd-update.

(You can also use RELENG_7_1 which will get you 7.1-RELEASE plus latest
updates)
