Your function is fine if you want to only remove the 1st occurance of a repeat. However, 3 in a row will be only reduced to 2. I'm guessing that's what's happening to you.
In other words, [1,1,2,3,3,4] will properly reduce to [1,2,3,4] with your function. However, [1,1,1,2,3,3,4] will only reduce to [1,1,2,3,4]. Trace through your function using the above examples step by step and you should see where your error is.
