This happens because you're specifying the target file in the command
(as testgrid10:00000035). When the command is first run, this file will
be created because it doesn't exist. On subsequent runs, its contents
will be overwritten with the contents of the local 00000035 file, but it
is still the same file and so has the same URI.

I've opened a ticket to improve the 'tahoe put --help' output to explain
this case: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1372
