If you have access to ArcGIS then try opening the file there
and renaming the second GLG column to something different
(i.e. GLG2).

If you don't then maybe it is possible to somehow use ogrtools
to change the column name, but I'm not really familiar enough with it.
At the least you can go:

 > ogrinfo -al -summary

and this should allow you to confirm the problem is two attributes
of the same name.

Hope this of some help,

Joel
