Dimension L2 showing up as member of itself

Question

We are building a PAS cube from BW through a BEx query using the IMPORT SCHEMA command. One of the dimensions (CUSTOMER) is being built in PAS in such a way that the output members are being included as input members in their own tree.
For example, the CUSTOMER dimension should look like this (and it does appear this way in both BW and in the BEx query):
ALL CUSTOMERS
...19 - US Customers
..........16 - Target
..........17 - K-Mart
...21 - Foreign Customers         
..........18 - Wal-Mart
Instead, when it is imported into PAS it looks like :
ALL CUSTOMERS      
...19 - US Customers
..........19 - US Customers
..........16 - Target
..........17 - K-Mart
...21 - Foreign Customers
..........21 - Foreign Customers
..........18 - Wal-Mart
In looking at the short member names for the dimension in PAS, they appear like this :
ALL CUSTOMERS      
...L2 19
..........L1 19
..........L1 16          
..........L1 17
...L2 21         
..........L1 21         
..........L1 18        
The short names are different, which is why the dimension compiles without an error. 
Any ideas as to why each L2 is showing up as a member in its own tree as an input member?

Hi Laura,
Can you tell us if you are connecting to BW through BAPI? Or are you still using ODBO?
Please check if the configuration for your linkID in PAS is according to the following note:
