app.setroot(ARGS.root)

TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

Why not try Duplicate Files Deleter. It will do a thorough search of your hard disk and find out the two or more duplicate files of the same file which may be stored at different locations. This will give you a comprehensive list of all those files and you can decide for yourself what you want to do with them.

when a file match is found we could
check if the containing directory has exactly the name number of items
if it does, check if all the file names matches
if it does, check if all the checksums match
then report duplicate directory

It would appear that broken soft symbolic link and socket files makes DuplicateFiles.py abort.

python DuplicateFiles.py -root /home/egbert/Documents/
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "DuplicateFiles.py", line 50, in <module>
    DUPS = find_duplicates( ARGS.root )
  File "DuplicateFiles.py", line 21, in find_duplicates
    with open( filepath ) as openfile:
IOError: [Errno 6] No such device or address: '/home/egbert/Documents/home/internet/laptops/macosx-home-egbert-hiddenfiles/.ondmd50555'

Notice the socket file type.
