I don't get duplicates on a CentOS 6 x86_64 VM of mine.
Either one example (below) will suffice ... obviously eliminating the pipe
is probably best.
logger "blah" -t test
echo "hi" | logger -t test
And it doesn't matter which user I'm logged in as (privileged or
non-privileged, it logs things just the same).
Unless of course you wanted to log the contents of a file, then pipe it!
~]# cat /tmp/blah
test one
test two
test three
test four
~]# cat /tmp/blah | logger -t test
~]# tail -f /var/log/messages

The OP is using CentOS 6 which has replaced sysklogd with rsyslog.
