I will experiment with this on our development environment and see what happens. Thanks for all these ideas.

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.
