So ... a guy gifted me Dark Souls by E-mail , when i try activate my gift it said "This gift has already been redeemed." , the game is not in my or his inventory either

No .. it's not a key , it's a gift

Close the gift window, open your inventory ,click gifts, try again. Happened to me a few times since the sale started.

EDIT: Or just try redeeming it from a browser instead of Steam client.

well when i click to activate it by email that steam gives to me it said

Activating your gift...
We've started the gift activation process in the Steam Client. If your Steam Client does not show the gift, or if you do not have the Steam Client installed on this computer, you can complete the gift activation in your browser instead.

well no gift window showed in steam so i clicked by browser instead and that's it ... error

Erm...Happened to me yesterday or the day after that. The gifter sent me an email with a GIFT (same as your case) and i received the same message. So i contacted the gifter and he sent me the copy of the game through trade... Hope this is useful. :)
