Ouch!  Thanks for pointing that out.

Currently, if you have gtk-2.6, config information is stored in  
~/.balsa/config, not ~/.gnome2/balsa, so that's where you'll find those  
duplicates; the change of location is part of a migration from  
GnomeConfig to GKeyFile.  Because of a bug in the new code, edited  
filters were saved with names ending in "/", like "[filter-0/]".

It's fixed in cvs (ChangeLog rev 1.2055), and the misnamed groups will  
be silently removed, so you shouldn't need to do anything to clean it  
up.  However, the version that's kept will probably the one prior to  
your changes--if you don't want to reinstall them, you might want to  
hand-edit the file.
