Probably there's a direct link to the unaliased node path, either from an external site, or a badly written module, or manually entered in a node body, or...
You can prevent this by installing the global redirect module. This will automatically 301-redirect the internal node paths to their aliases, so that even if a stray link to the node path appears somewhere, search engines will see the redirect and index the correct alias.

thanks for the advice. though none of above are possible. actually I'm not talking about a few hundred nodes. Much more!
