In the index script?  If so, that should be fine.

I can't see what's going wrong here at all.  If the only line in a
record is fed to unique (and optionally other things) then the record
should be deleted, unless there's no term indexing that record in which
case it is ignored.

I guess you feed in more data when not running it by hand, so perhaps it
is.

I'll have to look more closely I think...
