Hi, I've written a java class to do this. I put it here http://hdl.handle.net/10197/6335 in case anyone would like to use it in future.
Description and usage: DSpace utility to withdraw and reinstate a list of items. Withdraws items via the DSpace API. Removes items from browse indexes, OAI-PMH interface and updates the dc.description.provenence field as expected. Tested on DSpace 1.8.2. Install in [dspace_src]/dspace/modules/api/src/main/java/org/dspace/content and rebuild DSpace. Call by running [dspace]/bin/dspace dsrun org.dspace.content.BulkWithdraw login_email password itemIdsFile [reinstate]. ItemIDsFile is a list of DSpace item_ids to be withdrawn, one item_id per line. The default mode is withdraw. Optionally, add 'reinstate' as the fourth argument to completely reverse the process.

Hi, I have a list of item_ids based on an sql query, e.g. item_id ---------- 2 3 15 23 ... (582 rows) I'd like to withdraw the items from DSpace. I assume it isn't safe to just change the item.withdrawn field to 'true' (side effects for solr, oai_pmh, etc). Is this correct? Does anyone have or know of a tool to withdraw these via the command line? After looking I only found the bulk metadata edit tool, but these items are scattered across several collections.
