I guess the exclamation point in the program is causing the issue.

You can try this instead:-
Code:
awk 'A[$2,$3,$4,$5,$6]++==0' file

This one works on adjacent like unique
Code:
awk '(k=$2 FS $3 FS $4 FS $5 FS $6)!=pk {print; pk=k}' file

Did you copy it exactly as presented? bash's history functionality may get in the way:
Code:
!A[
bash: !A[: event not found

What's your shell?

These are sage words, and worth quoting.
