Are you spanning the server vlan selecting "both directions" to 
another port? If so, you will indeed see every packet twice. Once 
when it ingresses the vlan and once when it egresses the vlan.
You can solve this by only spanning incoming packets.

If they are *exactly* the same, then "editcap -d" is your friend.
