Strangeness with Cron

I have a simple cron job that syncs my laptop with the server and is 
set up to email me when the job is done.  The strangeness is that I get 
two emails, every other day instead of an email each day.  Any ideas 
why?  My crontab is:

# Set up cron variables
SHELL=/bin/bash
MAILTO=ckacoroski at nsd.org

# Sync directories to server.
5 13 * * 1-5 $HOME/cron/backup

cheers,

ski
