duplicate detection

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using the following batch to upload an excel spreadsheet : java -jar 
E:\gdu\google-docs-upload-1.4.6.jar "\\xxxxx\xxxxx\xxxxx\AGENDA EVENEMENTIEL" 
-u xxx@xxx -p xxxxx -ra 
The batch file is running every five minute on a windows 2008 r2 server and 
upload an excel spreadsheet called "AGENDA 2011.xls" 

The expected output is a single up-to-date AGENDA 2011 spreadsheet on google 
docs but randomly the duplicate detection isn't working.
See the result in attached file.
The shared one should be updated but sometimes a new one is created instead.

I am also having a problem with duplicate detection 
I am uploading a folder that has subfolders for each staff member and that sub 
folder is sometimes recreated the new folder is not shared with them so they 
can not see it.
I have 151 user folders i.e. jdoe  that is shared with john doe at his google 
apps account jdoe@ourschools.org
it duplicates most of them then it gets to the m's and works fine for i.e. 
mjones thru zsmith

I am on os x 10.6
used tags --recursive --username usr@ourschools.org --password $pass 
--without-conversion --skip-all
when I run I have a total of 257 files to check
worked fine when I tests with only 6 sub folders so I may need to rework my 
script to upload each staff members folder on its own

rebuilt my script to upload each user sub folder individually the same folders 
duplicated.
figured out that it is the name on googles side is not flagging as duplicate. 
if I right click the folder on google and select rename and the click ok with 
out changing the name it then does not duplicate the folder.

fix them and it finds 20+ more

I faced the duplicate issue I am uploading a folder of 6 files; 2 of my files 
out of 6 got duplicated. I deleted the 2 new files created and ran the script 
again which resolved the issue. I am not sure why  the duplication happened. I 
am using the below script:

java -jar C:\gdu\google-docs-upload-1.4.7.jar %1 -protocol https --recursive -u 
xyz@xyz.com -p xyz -ra %*

I'm having the same issue:

java -jar %bin_path%google-docs-upload-1.4.7.jar kml --without-folders 
-username XXXX -password XXXX --protocol https --without-conversion 
--replace-all --remote-folder XXXX

 - I'm uploading the files in the directory data once per hour
 - often a new file is created
 - but sometimes a new remote-folder is created - which is even more frustrating.

If I'm sharing the GDocs folder to others, suddenly the files get uploaded into 
the new directory and the reciepients are still looking at the older, non 
updating folder.

I sugest looking in to Google drive I have changed my scripts to write in to  
Google Drive folder then let it upload and sync to google. you can have your 
script handle duplicates.

What version of google api does this tool use? In the short term I wrote 
something to remove the duplicates.  It would be nice if you could proved a way 
to pass in the document key  that way you could ensure you are updating the 
correct doc

I see the issue the code looks for the folder to update by name if there are 
two folder with the same name it will always select the first folder. 

It looks like parts of the api failure creates a duplicate folder .... (the 
code will always find the new folder first)
