Looks like RGeo-EHHSC.... might already be in PLATFORM? Do you have a
unique or primary key on platform_filename to make sure that you never
have more than 1, if you are expecting them to be unique?

Looks like RGeo-EHHSC... might already be in PLATFORM as a
platform_filename, causing 2 records to be returned by the above
subquery? Do you have a unique or primary key on platform_filename to
make sure that you never have more than 1, if you are expecting them to
be unique?
