The only other thing I would check apart from what has already been suggested is to check youre User Preference Settings.
Could be one user has the duration format on the dates tab in Days and the other user has the durations format in weeks.
If the data date is the same and the Opens date is the same for both users its the only thing that I can think of that would cause the duration difference.

Thomas, When multuple users are working in the same project, all users need to be aware of the conditions for committing data to the P6 Database and back.
For example, I might make a change on an activity's duration, and continue making changes, but until I take an action that committs those changes to the database (such as pressing F9), anyone else opening the same project will not see the changes I've made, but rather what is still in the database.
You can force a commit by pressin F10, after which the second user should then press F5 to refresh their screen from the database. Under such cirucmstances there may be a scenario where a change I make, is overwritten because the data is refreshed before it is committed.
You should ask your other planner to press F10 and then on your screen you should press F5, and you should both be seeing the same values then. If not, there is some other issue which might be cause the problem.
