I have found a number of files in my pool that have the same checksum
(other than a trailing _0 or _1) and also the SAME CONTENT. Each copy
has a few links to it by the way.

Why is this happening? 
  Isn't this against the whole theory of pooling.  It also doesn't seem
  to get cleaned up by BackupPC_nightly since that has run several times
  and the pool files are now several days old.

What can I do to clean it up?
  Is there a script that goes through looking for identical checksum
  pool files that have the same content and then coalesces them all
  into one inode.

Thanks!
