I would assume the datestamps on those 2 files are different and the database already existed at one point prior to the latest duplicate?

If you forget the slash in a db file convert parameter as in

db_file_name_convert=("/fred/dir1/","/bill/dir1"); for an rman database duplicate you get duplicate files !

Ie /fred/dir1/system01.dbf becomes

/bill/dir1/system01.dbf
/bill/dir1system01.dbf

Not sure WHICH is the real db file though! .
