Thanks for the advice above, it got me further along but I've run into another wall or two. Here's where I'm at so far
The first problem is I can't get the IF statement to work no matter where I put quotes, parens, brackets, or curly brackets. Also switching -eg for =, ==, or / makes no difference. I get either a 'too many parameters on line 16" error or it drops right through and declares every file unique when 10 out of 20 are duplicates.
Second problem is I have a file named 'space test dupe10.jpg' that I named to see how it would handle spaces in file names. I have a simplified version of the script (no IF statement) that just echoes the variables as it increments through them, and it appears to treat space, test, and dupe10.jpg as 3 different files.
This isn't a life or death situation so I greatly appreciate any and all advice. I'm just updating an electronic picture frame that hangs on the living room wall and runs for 4 hrs per night which makes adding pictures a pain since it has to be done while it's on. With this script I can put the pics on my NAS and they'll get copied over when the frame boots. I can do that now but duplicate file names are a concern. I made this thing before you could buy them, from instructions in a physical popular mechanics magazine. 15 or so years and several thousand pics later and you can imagine how many times my wife (a photography hobbyist no less) has tried to load "flowers.jpg" on it.

mhddfs(1) General Commands Manual mhddfs(1)NAME
mhddfs - The driver combines a several mount points into the single one.
SYNOPSIS
mhddfs /dir1,/dir2[,/path/to/dir3] /path/to/mount [-o options]
mhddfs /dir1 dir2,dir3 /mount/point [-o options]
...
fusermount -u /path/to/mount
fstab record example:
mhddfs#/path/to/dir1,/path/to/dir2 /mnt/point fuse defaults 0 0
mhddfs#/dir1,/dir2,/dir3 /mnt fuse logfile=/var/log/mhddfs.log 0 0
OPTIONS
with an -o option1,option2... you can specify some additional options:
logfile=/path/to/file.log
specify a file that will contain debug information.
loglevel=x
0 - debug messages
1 - info messages
2 - standard (default) messages
mlimit=size[m|k|g]
a free space size threshold If a drive has the free space less than the threshold specifed then another drive will be choosen while creat-
ing a new file. If all the drives have free space less than the threshold specified then a drive containing most free space will be
choosen.
Default value is 4G, minimum value is 100M.
This option accepts suffixes:
[mM] - megabytes
[gG] - gigabytes
[kK] - kilobytes
For an information about the additional options see output of:
mhddfs -h
DESCRIPTION
The file system allows to unite a several mount points (or directories) to the single one. So a one big filesystem is simulated and this
makes it possible to combine a several hard drives or network file systems. This system is like unionfs but it can choose a drive with the
most of free space, and move the data between drives transparently for the applications.
While writing files they are written to a 1st hdd until the hdd has the free space (see mlimit option), then they are written on a 2nd hdd,
then to 3rd etc.
df will show a total statistics of all filesystems like there is a big one hdd.
If an overflow arises while writing to the hdd1 then a file content already written will be transferred to a hdd containing enough of free
space for a file. The transferring is processed on-the-fly, fully transparent for the application that is writing. So this behaviour simu-
lates a big file system.
WARNINGS
The filesystems are combined must provide a possibility to get their parameters correctly (e.g. size of free space). Otherwise the writing
failure can occur (but data consistency will be ok anyway). For example it is a bad idea to combine a several sshfs systems together.
Please read FUSE documentation for a further conception.
