Problem solved.

I only just discovered, that the first dat-file is empty, whereas the 
duplicates contain the following, like the dat-files from my other 
(de.*) groups:

version="9"
logging="no"

I replaced the empty dat-file with a "filled" one, and the duplication 
of files has stopped.

Dropbox was obviously the cause, as mentioned by dillinger.
