syncing error with zotero

I set up my library to sync automatically with Zotero. I got this error message:

An automatic sync resulted in a conflict that requires manual intervention.
Click the sync icon to sync manually.

When I did a manual sync, it gave me a Conflict Resolution screen, identifying a local object, a remote object, and a merged object. I don't want these objects to be merged. They are actually two different objects, but because they share some common bibliographic info, I created the item record for one by duplicating the other (and then editing the info to reflect what's different).

So I clicked Cancel Sync in the hopes of avoiding a merger. However, maybe I misunderstood what was going on here. I'm not getting these Conflict Resolution screens for any other items created by duplicating another.

Error # is 1414541363.

    Duplicating an item definitely shouldn't cause a conflict, but it's easy enough to check. Just view your library on this site and see if there are two copies of the original item.
