There is the automatic invitation handling that Kolab Server can do,
but you can easily check if the calender user has access to any of these 
folders.

Yes, this is the right conclusion.
There are occasional report for such duplications to happen 
with Toltec and many shared folder, but they are rare meaning
they have not been reproduced.

If you have a way to reliably reproduce, this would be cool.
Two potential causes for dublication are:
a) An old version of Toltec
b) A bad version of Toltec was used at some time, and the .pst 
was not unlinked and relink, which sometimes can help.

Here is a testing script which can help in some situations to 
detect some special duplicates (please only use if you fully understand it)
and assist in removing them.

I also suspect that LDAP- service interruption could cause this condition.
