I'm afraid that's not a bug: 

I Added this feed and let akregator sync it for a few days. The issue comes
from the website which alters the articles URLS.

eg with the article "Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Optics, Job Code: 1011"
from yesterday:

- The url when clicking on "complete story" was
http://www.photonicsjobs.com/job//2011-08-28/570 yesterday and today became
http://www.photonicsjobs.com/job//2011-08-29/570

Looks like this website changes the GUID value (GUID=Globally Unique
Identifier). From an Akregator pov, a new GUID means a new article, hence the
article duplication

For further details see
http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.photonicsjobs.com%2Frss.xml
and look at line ~24
(<guid>http://www.photonicsjobs.com/job//2011-08-29/570</guid>)

Only the website owner can fix this issue
