Yes.  Just as Holger mentions, if the hardlink attempt fails,
a new file is created in the pool.  You appear to have some
unreliability in your NFS or network setup.

The only other time identical files will have different pool
entries, as people noted, is when $Conf{HardLinkMax} is hit.
Subsequent expiry of backups might cause the identical files
to move below $Conf{HardLinkMax}.

It's not worth the trouble to try to combine those files since
the frequency is so small and the effort to relink them is very
high.
