I'd be looking at scripting something with find, its -exec option, md5sum, sort, mv and maybe ln if I want to keep the filenames, but I've not looked at fslint.
The more I think about it the more I am thinking that I should go down this route. It will be a one-off process, so if it takes overnight to run, it doesn't really matter, and that way I can control what it does.
However, if a standard tool (like fslint) *can* do it, then I think it's the kind of tool I should learn to use. After all, I could write a script to find the files without using "find", but it's a good tool for that job and I'm glad I have learnt to use it.
