There are several "random" modes in rhythmbox, you might want to check if you are using "shuffle" (sampling without replacement) or a true random (sampling with replacement), you can check the play_order gconf key: /apps/rhythmbox/state/play_order in the gconf-editor, the legal values are: "linear", "shuffle", "random-equal-weights", "random-by-age", "random-by-rating". AFAIK shuffle should not repeat any song within the same session.
Ok, this is good to know. However, it seems to me like none of the modes should play the same song twice in a row unless the playlist is only 1 song long. I can't think of a situation where that's really desired. Have fun, Peter
