Sounds perplexing to me too. But of course I have no idea what type of 'mirroring tool' you're using, or how it handles duplicate, private, or open files. And you should still have explorer set to hide system files, so maybe that accounts for the 'ghosts'.
Even more perplexing to me is why you would be manually mirroring anyway. You're savvy enough to be using a RAID if that's really what you need. But then, imaging would be a much better solution for backup purposes.
