Smokeball - I think the reds are considered "dupes" (whether they really are or not). The greens may be "problem" WUs (a co-worker of mine who is on dialup says he used to get them all the time. He calls 'em "stuckees").
In this case, I think the "dup" indication here may have been what Setiqueue thought the error meant. A bunch of us have found that there are some errors that come out of SETI that Setiqueue doesn't understand so it lumps those WUs that get it, under a catchall "duplicate". Same with those "stuck" greenies.
Based on what people are saying here, I think someone must have changed a filter or something and thus the error... Since it doesn't look like it was a standard error, Setiqueue didn't know how to handle it.
I'm curious what non-queue-ers and/or Setidriver users saw with that error... It might have caused the clients to abort or perhaps retry.
