Did you check the Advanced settings of those filters? Which option is 
selected for "Apply this filter to incoming messages"?

The impression that KMail copies the messages instead of moving them 
might be due to the server's behavior. If one deletes a message in an 
IMAP folder then this message is at first only marked as deleted. KMail 
usually tells the server to remove those "deleted" message when you 
switch to another folder resp. when KMail closes the IMAP folder. If 
the POP functionality of the server does not hide messages which are 
marked as deleted, then this would explain the message duplication.
