I appreciate that you've been searching the archives for information about 
your issue.  Nevertheless, when you have a new question (which yours is), 
please start a new thread.

I agree that it doesn't seem useful to checksum a File configured with 
"replace => false".  If you can confirm that checksums are in fact being 
computed, then you should consider filing a bug report 
<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa>.  In any case, a 
work-around and possible diagnostic test would be to set "checksum => 
'mtime'" on your affected File resources.  A straight workaround with no 
diagnostic value would be to simply set "checksum => 'none'".
