Thanks Matt. That did it. 

Now that I read the docs again, the description of
update_or_create in ResultSet clearly says that it will
'search first ...'  (I even quoted it in my previous
message!) but on first read this implicit search was not
obvious to me.

For some reason, my head insisted on trying to impose the
logic of the process (which in my head was 'search' first
and then 'update_or_create'). 

Thanks again,

Fernan
