However the following command : echo "HI" > logger -t test Resulted in the message appearing twice in /var/log/messages on my

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
Tested on CentOS 5.10 32bits/64bits and 6.5 64bits and I only get one appearance... Did you modify /etc/syslog.conf ? Maybe there are two entries repeating the same facility?
The OP is using CentOS 6 which has replaced sysklogd with rsyslog.
