Default COUNTIF( {local cells}, {number from other sheet})

We have a group at work that is working with a CSV file that has been saved
with a .XLS extention. They are working this worksheet in Excel 2007, and
are having problems with COUNTIF.

The quandry is that they using the COUNTIF variables from two separate
sheets, and trying to get acurate counts. The situation is as such:

Sheet 1 Sheet 2
Formula
A1 12450903093004001 12450903093004001
COUNTIF([Sheet 1]$A$1:$A8, A1)
A2 12450903093004001 12450903093004002
COUNTIF([Sheet 1]$A$1:$A8, A2)
A3 12450903093004001
A4 12450903093004001
A5 12450903093004002
A6 12450903093004002
A7 12450903093004002
A8 12450903093004002


The Results say there are 8 of each number. Not 4 of each as there really
are. I was thinking it was because it was being saved as a CSV with all the
numbers are "numbers as text", but I tested with others sheets and it should
be a working formula.

Has anyone else seen this problem and able to lend a hint?

Thanks,

ShadoShryke
