There's only one physical jar file at /srv/tomcat6/webapps/testpkg-domain-wsvc/WEB-INF/lib/testpkg-persistence-ext.jar but openjpa search mechanism will think there are two different jars.
jar:file:/srv/tomcat6/webapps/testpkg-domain-wsvc/WEB-INF/lib/testpkg-persistence-ext.jar!/META-INF/persistence.xml
jar:file:/usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/testpkg-domain-wsvc/WEB-INF/lib/testpkg-persistence-ext.jar!/META-INF/persistence.xml
On the directory structure it can be seen /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps points to /srv/tomcat6/webapps

There's a partial workaround to overcome most of the 'Found duplicate metadata or mapping' messages. The appBase attribute of <Host> can be changed at /etc/tomcat6/server.xml to point to an absolute path instead of a path relative to CATALINA_BASE or CATALINA_HOME
<Host name="localhost" appBase="/srv/tomcat6/webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
The "multiple times" error will persist even if only one jar is mentioned after the workaround was applied:
