Hmmm,

I've seen this behaviour before on dos/windows filesystems mounted under
Linux. Guess what, q file SI_GIULIA gives just one entry:

Node Name           Filespace       FSID     Platform     Filespace        Is
       Capacity       Pct
                    Name                                  Type
Filespace         (MB)      Util

Unicode?
---------------     -----------     ----     --------     ---------
---------     --------     -----
---------     --------     -----
SI_GIULIA           /mnt/win           1     Linux86      VFAT             No
SI_GIULIA           /mnt/win           1     Linux86      VFAT             No
        3,090.4      72.1

                                                          ^^^^^^^^^^

Guess this is can only be solved by changing the behaviour of linux on mounted
dos filesystems....
