R error - "We cannot convert the input due to duplicate column names:"

I am trying to imput several data.tables through R but I keep running into this error.   I have no idea what is causing it, since none of my data imported into the R script has a "Total" column, no...

Could you attach a screenshot? It might provide a little more context as to what's causing the problem.

 

Cheers,

 

George.

    The Error message

    Output

    There are 4 output tables. I could easily combine them with a 5th column with an identifier value. The error occurs before the script executes. 

     

    90% of the input data are used in other scripts that import on other scripts without error, so I know it isn't those. 

     

    The only other table does not have a "Total" column. 

     

    The script executes perfectly fine when sourced in in RStudio.
