        Hey

        Well, if you think about it, the two following pages are the same content on a different page name:

        /pagename.php?sess=1
        /pagename.php?sess=2

        So, duplicate content? Well, not really, google would likely figure it out but it's far from ideal but... they provide a cute tool to help out in these cases which allows you to suggest URL parameters to be ignored. It's a suggestion, rather than a directive but... it should be a quick and easy solution to your woes.

        More details here:

        Hope it helps
        Marcus

            Yep, you can suggest up to 15 parameters to ignore I believe (that's from memory but its a good few)
