How can I get a count of unique records, by group instead
of the # of occurances for that record.
 
I'm not sure I understand, but if you want to count the number of unique values
in a field, you can use a helper column:

Say your data is in A2:A999 (headers in A1)
then use a helper column and put a formula like:

=if(countif($a$2:$a2,a2)=1,1,0)

Then use this column in your pivottable (as sum).
