[X4U] Duplicate files

[Richard Gilmore]

The files have the exact same names unless iPhoto renames without telling
me. But iPhoto has put them into different folders. I wouldn't have imported
so many photos but I thought iPhoto was supposed to check and see if you
were importing the same photo more than once.
