I also modified my script to avoid duplicates in the first place, using an array to save filenames and compare them to incoming new ones.
It is reassuring that the results are the same as with awk '!A[$2,$3]++ && !A[$3,$2]++' file.

2) How does the command line version know to print only those keys (i) for which the count is 1?
I'm using GNU Awk 4.1.4, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 3.1.5, GNU MP 6.1.2)
(I'll figure it out somehow but it's getting late and it doesn't hurt to ask.)
Thanks.
