I thought this too (saved on servers) but it must be to do with the copying of the old data over to my new hard drive.

In answer to your question - when a contact signs in, only ONE of the versions I have lights up / shows as online. The other one, the duplicate, is pretty much redundant.

If nothing seems to help, one solution is to install Plus! and leave it running as it is for a while, then you could use the contact list cleaner to check who have been online and who haven't. If you are lucky, the contact list cleaner might pick up the duplicates as contacts that don't have you on their list, making it easy to remove them, but this is just a theory and you shouldn't take my word for it.
Could you check if the duplicates have the exact same e-mail address? And can you confirm that if you delete the "wrong" duplicate the other entry for that contact doesn't show as online when the contact is online?
