Please verify your environment variables; from the man page for bash:

 HISTCONTROL
              A colon-separated list of values controlling how commands are 
saved on the history list.  If the list
              of values includes ignorespace, lines which begin with a space 
character are not saved in the history
              list.   A  value  of  ignoredups causes lines matching the 
previous history entry to not be saved.  A
              value of ignoreboth is shorthand for ignorespace and ignoredups.  
A value  of  erasedups  causes  all
              previous  lines  matching  the  current  line to be removed from 
the history list before that line is
              saved.  Any value not in the above list is ignored.  If 
HISTCONTROL is unset, or does not  include  a
              valid  value,  all lines read by the shell parser are saved on 
the history list, subject to the value
              of HISTIGNORE.  The second and subsequent lines of a multi-line 
compound command are not tested,  and
              are added to the history regardless of the value of HISTCONTROL.
