I have a large (~6k) CSV feed which contains images that I need to import periodically. I have an image_url field in the import which is set to public://some_image_file.jpg and the images are located at sites/default/files/some_image_file.jpg. Everything seems to work, except that I'm finding that the images are copied from public://some_image_file.jpg to public://some_image_file_[N].jpg.

I'm a relative newcomer to the Drupal API (especially the File API), but a cursory glance at the code in feeds/plugins/FeedsParser.inc (specifically the getFile() method of class FeedsEnclosure) leads me to believe that the issue is at line 343 where file_save() is called, even if the file exists.

Is this the intended behavior? If so, is there a solution to this issue?

I don't have exactly the same problem, but something fishy is going on in the getFile() method. My importer seems to run every time even when I don't change the source file and I think it's saving the files again and again, although I don't get any new files after import. I can see that the amount of files in the folder changes during the import, so some temporary files are being imported. This is very problematic with xml-feeds and lots of images.
