Is it normal to have a scenery.cfg file in the app data/roaming location as well as the root of the FS9 folder? If so why is it doubled up?

I was going to look to see if I did but I am not sure where the app data/roaming folder is located...

It is a hidden folder so you have to check 'show hidden folders' in the Folders options.
Then it is something like ...Computer/localdiskC:/Users/your name/Appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/FS9

Sounds like WIN7 running an Apple routine?
FWIW in my XP setup, the equivalent is this:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Charl\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9\scenery.cfg"
Also the FS9.cfg resides there.
I imagine these are used to reconstruct "Last good configuration" after a crash.

And a whole raft of aircraft folders I never noticed!
"C:\Documents and Settings\Charl\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9\AIRCRAFT\ALPHA C-17 Globemaster III\state.CFG" shows that I have over 22 hours on this one. Ooh wait I could open all 2,683 folders and add up all the logged time to see how much... nevermind

The Raft .. Oh boy ... so many configs .. then the addon to addon to the addon , then when we are all happy YIPPEE .. till ya think your happy then pop FS9 - FSX are both the same .. think about it with out all these hick-cups - file search's .... we would not be the great flightsim addicts as we are

Oh yep, they are all there for me too (my folder is C:\Documents and Settings\Matt\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9)

My answers to your original questions would be...

1. Yes
2. for backup
