Ah, I completely understand. As someone who has used Papers for many years and
used BibDesk for use with LaTeX, I know exactly what you are going through, and
did the exact same thing recently. if I knew of, or could find, a way to have
BibDesk automatically down load the PDFs, I would probably leave papers
completely. Then I would just use BibDesk and Skim.
Two things:
1) If you do a quick search on the BibDesk website, you will find an
AppleScript that will identify and remove duplicates in your .bib file. This
was exceptionally helpful and quick for me when I did the same thing.
2) using the preferences in both Papers and BibDesk, you can get them to
generate the same cite key format.

Jason

Over the course of writing my dissertation I switched from one means of
generating reference information to another (bibdesk to papers). As a result I
use two large .bib files in my dissertation, an old one and new one. I treat
them both as libraries from which I can draw references, so they are both
larger than my final bibliography. However there was a period when I was trying
to consolidate the two and that means there are duplicate entries which is
throwing errors from the latex compiler.

Jan,
Sorry for asking the obvious, but why do you need to separate/remove the other
entries?

My problem is that at some point in the past I merged two large bibliography
files and I now need to unmerge them. Specifically I need to delete all
references that came from one of the two original files.
Can you use the "Item number" field for this purpose? You'd just have to find
the cutoff point for your original file, sorting by item number.
