Thanks Christine. It was nice to try items getting replaced from one collection to another individually as well as in batch mode. This helped to replace an item submitted through dspace GUI into another collection through the export facility and the subsequent import with replace option.

When I do a replacement, I'm usually changing the PDF file for an item, so I don't use the export, and we build new source metadata as well. I've never created the handle file, ItemImport seems to do that for you. I don't know what happens if you have one and don't remove it.
