A couple of problems:

1) If you added the links via the add.cgi script, and do not have file flocking turned on via the $db_use_flock variable in the links.cfg, then you could have duplicate links added. Make sure to delete duplicate links in the validation process.

2) Make sure that your linksid.txt file corresponds to the last record number in your links.db file. If this file has become corrupted, then the tracking of records may also be screwed up.
