Itunes duplicates on import (PLEASE HELP)

I recently tried to move my iTunes to a GoFlex cloud and start a new iTunes library on there, my ultimate goal was to beable to get all my music from iTuens to my Android Google Play Cloud. However, when I moved the library and went to reimport it to iTunes using the File>Add Folder to Library then selecting the folder i put all the music in on the GoFlex cloud it would import it but I have duplicates of almost all the songs when there aren't any duplicates in the original folder. WHat is causing this?! I don't want to go through a library of 2,000 plus songs or say 70+artist folders with subfolders to check if there are duplicates when I know there are not. If you could help me ASAP-as I am trying to get my music library organized for college next year that would be great. Because right now I have NO iTunes, nothing on my Google cloud, and even worse a HUGE MESS with ALL my music.

GoFlex cloud? Battery powered Wi-Fi network drive??? Sounds neat.
I suspect something went wrong with the workflow when you moved the media to the drive or attempted to update it. I've written a script called DeDuper which may help remove unwanted duplicates, but for it to work properly all there must be no broken links, and all the media in the media folders should have been added to the library. In addition there is a risk of deleting the only copy of a file if the same media file has been added to the library from two different network paths, e.g. via both an UNC name and a mapped drive letter.
See this thread for background on the script.
Feel free to post back with details of what you see in the library vs. what is in the corresponding folder for a typical set of duplicates in case I can see an easy fix or a way to make sure my script can't make matters worse rather than better.
