Hi Ian, I believe by "submit to DSpace by reference" you mean registering bitstreams (<https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Registering+(not+Importing)+Bitstreams+via+Simple+Archive+Format>). I haven't used it in production, but I played around with it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that checksums are used for anything else other than the checksum checker (<https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Validating+CheckSums+of+Bitstreams>). This is also how you can get a list of these changed files. In any case, if your file chages, you should deregister it (--delete) and register it again. You may also look at --replace, it might do the same.
