Namespace problem? duplicated folders...

I'm sure this is related to name-spaces, but for some reason [brain damage perhaps? :) ] I can't seem to figure out how to fix it.

In TBird, for example, I have a folder tree that looks like this

Inbox -|
  Folder-A
  Folder-B
  Folder-C
Folder-A
Folder-B
Folder-C

And  Folder-A, Folder-B, Folder-C are the same folders, just shown twice. [In two different hierarchies.] 

I'm using mbox files to store mail. [If that matters.]

Here's what I have in my conf files for namespace defs

namespace {
  inbox = yes
  #hidden = yes
  prefix = INBOX/
  separator = /
}

namespace inbox {
  mailbox Drafts {
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox Junk {
    special_use = \Junk
  }
  mailbox Trash {
    special_use = \Trash
  }
  mailbox Sent {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox "Sent Messages" {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
}


I've had this problem for literally years, and it's not been that big of a deal (mostly irritating) - and I've tried to "fix" it before without any success. But now it's causing some issues and I'd really like to get this nagging issue gone. Since it's been so long since I last tried to fix it, I really can't recall any of settings changes I made in an attempt to fix it. I'd guess this is a trivial issue, but if so, can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!
