If you output QP 2.1 to MetaStock format, you should download the
qp_meta update.  You can find it on this page:
http://www.qp2.com/download.htm
Read the instructions first.

Do you use QP Virtual combined with MetaStock Layouts?  Are you
getting this error?
"MetaStock for Windows
Duplicate securities in folder
Merge duplicate securities?
[YES]   [NO]"

If so, please email me.
