You might have two sources pointed at the same group of folders. For example, if you set content on a child-folder, then later set content on a parent-folder, they could end up overlapping and result in doubles. It could also be a case-sensitive issue, where a second source was entered with a capital letter thrown in, and XBMC thinks it's a whole new path.

First check for redundant sources within the GUI under XBMC -> Videos -> Files.

Also, XBMC pulls sources from the database, so sometimes they can exist without being shown in the GUI. In that case, you can normally correct it by using an SQL editing tool and opening up userdata (wiki)/Database/MyVideos75.db and finding the table for sources and deleting the duplicate source.
