Duplicate files on P2 cards

I just shot 3 quick test shots w/my HPX300.
My P2 card had just been reformatted.
I wanted to test the transfer of files to my laptop and ingest.
Once the 3 shots were complete, I connected the camera to my MBP via USB with a 500Gb firewire HD connected to the laptop.
I copied the contents folder & text file to the Firewire HD.
Launched FCP and Log & Transfer was perfect. But then I looked....it imported 6 files. I went ahead and dragged them to the Queue and it rendered all six.
I then looked at my laptop's capture folder and these are the files I saw. (see attached image)
Why did I get duplicates?

I'm assuming you only have 1 copy of the MXF file on your card (and/or drive). Was the blue circle completely filled? That means the entire clip was transferred. If it's half filled that means only a portion of the clip (you set an in and out) was transferred. What were the exact steps you took? Normally, in the L&T window I point to the folder on my drive that contains the MXFs. Then, after the clips appear, I review a clip, set ins and outs, and add that to the queue and the clips appears in my Logging bin.
