Unfortunately, I have seen this issue come back again.
Also, on checking selective sync folder settings there are loads of folders appearing that are not appearing either online in Google Drive or in the Windows folder.
I have separately emailed screen shots and a log file.

We got the screen shots. The duplicate folders are probably ones that the Google servers have set to be hidden. We have logged a bug with Google about it.
Have you set Syncdocs to sync hidden folders (in the settings - Folders tab)? Try unchecking the sync hidden folders option, and see if the duplicates disappear.

Phil - I don't think that's it - I unchecked the sync hidden folders option and still had the issue.
When I shutdown and restarted Syncdocs the issue is still there, but greatly reduced.
What I have never understood is why the act of restarting Syncdocs should make a difference for this issue (which it always has). What does Syncdocs do after restarting that it doesn't do when continuing to run?
Have emailed screenshots separately.
Thanks

Thanks, Nick, we got the screen shots, and are investigating it.
The reason Syncdocs shows different folders in the Selective Sync menu on a fresh start and after a sync is that is caches folders after a sync.
On a clean start it does not know what folders you have, and so asks Google to just list them, but Google only lists those on a single server, not all the folders it retrieves when a full query is done across multiple servers.
