Thanks for the input Paul. In fact the issue is limited to lists, no document libraries appear to be affected. Also there was no versioning enabled on the source lists, or any content deployment on the SC. We performed the export of an entire sites, so the affected lists are being created on import.
I now believe it is an issue between the source and the destination site collection templates. We've used the same .cabs to import into collaboration SC and we don't see the duplication. Unfortunately we're stuck with the effected sites, now we need to figure out how to get rid of our duplicates... -Dan.

Stsadm is very particular (read flaky) with versioning and will not removed duplicates on a subsequent import. I assume this is only affecting document libraries? Did you run the same parameters on the export command? Did you retain IDs? Had you previously set-up content deployment or was this a first time import? And, most importantly, was versioning enabled on the target list? If you can tick off all the above then I recommend checking your source/destination MOSS versions and taking a look at these patches. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956056/en-us | http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956057/en-us Regards, Paul Online Developer, ICT CEO Sydney From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Sheedy Sent: Monday, 17 May 2010 7:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: duplicate list items after site export/import Hi. We've recently migrated some team sites from one site collection (moss collab) to another (moss publishing). We used '-versions 4' on the stsadm -o export and left '-updateversions' as default on the import command. We have a issue where list items with previous versions, when exported then imported, now have duplicate items (one item in the list for each version) in the list. Has anyone run across this problem before? Thanks.
