Two identical Users folders in OSX?

[Steve Talkowski]

So, I sold my 500MHz TiBook today (yay - bought my 1GHz Superdrive 
model for my b-day 2 weeks ago...) and I've erased the old drive and 
re-installed OSX on it.  My friend brings over an OS 9 app on CD that 
we try to load up and the computer hangs.  I can't reboot so I do an 
archive and re-install OSX.

I then go into terminal and sudo rm -r the Previous System folder.

Back in the finder, i notice it lists 8 items but I only see 7 folders. 
  After changing view modes i see there are TWO identical Users folders! 
(they were one on top of the other in icon mode)  I can't delete nor 
drag either of them to the trash.

Back in terminal, ls -a shows only one folder.   HUH?

Any ideas how to fix this?

p.s.   I did send my TiBook in to get that vertical blue line fixed 
last Monday - it only cost me $350 and they replaced the entire screen 
AND keyboard (according to my parts list). A call to billing inquiry 
confirmed that, yes, it was only $350 because it was determined that my 
screen defect was from normal use.   How cool was that?
