[aklug] Question about awk

Since we have a few awk-ward folks on the list, I thought I'd throw this
out. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but from my limited
knowledge of awk, and reading the man pages, I'm not able to make this
work.

MIN=1000
OKUSERS='(www-priv,www-data)'

# This is all one line
users_to_ignore=`cat /etc/passwd | awk -F":" '{if ($3 <'$MIN'
&& "'$OKUSERS'" !~ /\W$1\W/) print $1 ","}' | xargs -i echo -n {}`

echo users_to_ignore

This is printing all the users with UIDs below 1000.

What small thing am I missing so it will not include users in OKUSERS in
its final output?
