getfolderid produces 404 error (error code 11512) when two folders with exactly the same name exist

[tomstarr]

I've recently been developing the getpath.py script and a new script ('getcreator.py', which I'll share soon) and as part of my development both of these scripts will use getfolderid.py. Today I encountered a weird situation whereby a user had two "Application Data" directories in their user folder, and when getfolderid encountered this, it doesn't know which folder's objectURI it should return.

I don't think that this will be a common issue, but perhaps you would like to include a warning in the script or perhaps some error catching message which would explain what error code 11512 might have been caused by. Just a thought.

Cheers.

@tomstarr strange one, thanks for pointing it out. I will take a look and see what we can do.
