Thanks DiapDealer. I fixed the problem but I am not a coder so I don't know why this worked:
Duplicate cover appeared with code in this order:
<spine toc="ncx">
<itemref idref="cover.htm" />
<itemref idref="Roads_-_book_2.htm" />
<itemref idref="Section0001.htm" />

But when I moved the <itemref idref="cover.htm" /> to be the last line instead of the first line, the problem went away ?!? So probably mobi/Kindle is ignoring one of those references to the cover?
<spine toc="ncx">
<itemref idref="Roads_-_book_2.htm" />
<itemref idref="Section0001.htm" />
<itemref idref="cover.htm" />

The Kindle doesn't use the html page for the cover--only the image itself.

It's all documented in section 3.2 of the Kindle Publishing Guidelines.
