I would guess that the issue is that the camera manufacturer is listed as
"Canon", and the camera model is listed as "Canon Eos 20d". The script puts
out the manufacturer and model of the camera, so you get it twice.

If you look at the EXIFCaptioning.PspScript file in a text editor like
notepad, you will see the following around 60 lines in:

# assemble the camera string by concatenating the camera make and model.
Some camera
# manufacturers have the barbaric practice of CAPITALIZING everything in
their make and model
# strings, so convert it to initial caps only for a more civilized
appearance
CaptionTextCamera = unicode(string.capwords( ImageInfo['ExifMake'] + ' '
+ ImageInfo[ 'ExifModel' ] ))

Replace the last line with:
CaptionTextCamera = unicode(string.capwords(ImageInfo[ 'ExifModel' ] ))

Be aware that white space is significant in Python. The existing line
starts with 4 spaces, and the line you put in must also start with 4
spaces - not 3, not 5, not a tab. Case also matters.
