You may also want to look at using +KC for cyclic animations which avoids 
the first and last images being identical. Alternatively you could just 
delete one or other of the duplicates, which is what I do when I forget to 
specify +KC.

I can't really explain how it could render multiple images without those 
command line settings.
However, the example file does contain a comment saying to use a command 
line setting +KFF30. Is it possible that you read that the first time and 
pasted it into the command line box, then forgot you'd done it?   If you're 
a youngster please don't take offense and just take my word for it that this 
sort of suggestion may make more sense as you get older.
