Seeing your "-XX:MaxPermSize=256m" vm argument I assume you have seen the
warning re jdk1.6.0_21 (from Oracle) and applied the steps in 
  http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_run_Eclipse%3F#Oracle.2FSun_VM_1.6.0_21_on_Windows

However, the error message you quote has some funny duplication.
So perhaps you may want to send your eclipse.ini for double checking?

That duplication is normal, the launcher sends the vmargs to the jre on the command line before the -jar, at the end of the command line the -vmargs are passed again to eclipse as program args so that the running eclipse knows what vmargs were used for the launch.  They show up in the system property "eclipse.vmargs" add will be used for restarts.
