problems with ksh array and find command

Code:
 
set -A allfiles `find $usrhtml -type f`

i am trying to populate this array with the find command. It works fine when find is looking through a single directory but when i add a new subdirectory the files in the subdirectory get duplicated. Can anyone help me and fix this so each files in the directory hierarchy only gets put into the array once?

$usrhtml is the path of the directory.

Could you please elaborate further?
Please post the listing of the directory/directories, the actual content of the array and the expected one.
