This is a bug in your application. The catalog identifies objects by
their physical path (via the getPhysicalPath method). Somehow this
method is returning two different values for the same object at
different times.

This is possible if the object is mounted in two locations in the folder
tree or some trusted code changed the aquisition wrappers and rewrapped
the object in a different place. You may need to set a trace in the
reindex method (or earlier) so you can step through and determine why
the paths come up different.
