You should verify that you do indeed have duplicate keys.

In html you cannot see the spaces first and last in the keys.

<span> someid</someid>

will look exactly the same as

<span>someid</someid>

in a browser.

If you choose view source you should be able to determine if it is 
indeed so.


I don't believe that The BTreeFolder makes duplicate keys, but the other 
problem is very likely. And one I have made myself from time to time, 
when forgetting to do an "id.strip()"
