We have tried to cover this by setting up our system options to include 
duplicated fields as part of our Heading report in telnet.  You can 
specify what fields you'd like to be notified about (such as your item 
barcodes).  Find this in telnet, A - A - S - O - D, "Heading report: 
Duplicate use fields."

We have also set our system options to catch duplicate item barcodes 
right when someone tries to add one.  We get a big on-screen message, 
and can avoid the duplication right when it's happening.  Function 
located in telnet, A - A - S - O - D, under "New Item Records : 
Duplicate Check on Fields ... ".
