Why Shoulda executes same test twice

I'm trying to use Shoulda and context to avoid duplication on my tests. In the following test I would like to expect the following output.

"dir created"
"dir removed"

but instead I've got 

"dir created"
"dir removed"
."dir created"
.
Finished tests in 0.001907s, 1048.7677 tests/s, 1048.7677 assertions/s.
2 tests, 2 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips

I don't understand why the first test is executed twice?

This is my test code:

class FileDirTest < Test::Unit::TestCase 
context "FileDir:" do

setup do
  @fd = FileDir.new
  @myDir = "dir1"
end

context "When dir is create:" do
  setup do
    @fd.create_dir(@myDir)
    p "dir created"
  end
  should "be Dir1" do
    assert_equal true, Dir.exist?(@myDir)
  end
  context "When delete a dir" do
    setup do
      @fd.remove_dir(@myDir)
      p "dir removed"
    end
    should "be removed" do
      assert_equal false, Dir.exist?(@myDir)
    end  
  end
end

end end

Like in any testing framework the setup is run before every test. Since one context is nested in another you see "dir created" twice.
