My business partner and I download company email from the same POP server, with Outlook 2010 set up to leave mail on the server for a month, so that we can each get a copy of everything.
I've started archiving some of it to a separate PST file, which seems to have the effect of fooling Outlook into thinking that the email left on the server is new - so it downloads it all again.
How can I prevent this?

I do not think you can.
You guys should consider switching to Hosted Exchange with Microsoft itself. It is $5 per month, it is more stable than POP3 (PST's SUCK, OST's not so bad), synchronizes very quickly (after the first big one), you can access the same e-mail from multiple computers and it is always the same, your saved folders and contacts and calendars are also there, and lastly I have clients with 12GB mailboxes, who still have excellent performance, even though they access a server in Washington state from Massachusetts. You probably would not need to archive as you are doing now.

+1 for hosted service. Far less hassles. – surfasb – 2011-07-10T02:32:22.777
Thanks. Might well go for that in time. For now, I'll just archive the stuff thats older than a month! – ChrisA – 2011-07-21T21:31:41.853
