Rodolfo, Is your open directory domain in this list?
dscl localhost -list .

Does this produce a unique $newID?

newID=501; \
for node in $(dscl localhost -list .); do \
 tempID=$(($(dscl . -list /Users UniqueID | /usr/bin/awk '{print $2}' | sort -ug | tail -1)+1)); \
 echo $tempID; \
 echo $newID; \
 [ $tempID -gt $newID ] && newID=$tempID; \
 echo $newID; \
done
