try deleting task, restart cf, re-creating the task, the sometimes fixes such issues. Are you on an old version of cf by any chance, I think this was a known issue on cf7/8
The most common reason I find for tasks running twice is where people have changed hosts and they have left the scheduled task still setup at the old host, so it gets run once form the old host and once from the new host.
