I think someone else pointed this out earlier in the thread, HISTIGNORE is the wrong variable for what the OP wants to achieve. The correct option is HISTCONTROL. Whereas HISTIGNORE uses pattern matching to not record commands in the history list, HISTCONTROL controls which commands are saved in the history list based on its value. In the OP's case the appropriate value should be either of `ignoredups' or `erasedups'. If someone is interested in the nitty gritties, look at `man bash`, "Shell Variables".
