Think they all match because $TMP still has result from local hash or previous host - probably safest to clear out $TMP on each loop
Also fname should be passed as a quoted string on the md5 command line not a seperate parameter on the ssh command line.

Change this line:
Code:
 ssh "${box}" "/usr/local/bin/md5" "${fname}" > "$TMP" </dev/null

to:
Code:
> $TMP
ssh "${box}" "/usr/local/bin/md5 \"${fname}\" " > "$TMP" </dev/null

SHTOOL-ARX.TMP(1)					      GNU Portable Shell Tool						 SHTOOL-ARX.TMP(1)

NAME
shtool-arx - GNU shtool ar(1) extensional command SYNOPSIS
shtool arx [-t|--trace] [-C|--command cmd] op archive file [file ...] DESCRIPTION
shtool arx is a wrapper around the archiving tool ar(1). It provides the ability to create archives out of existing archives, i.e., if one of file matches ""*.a"", the archive member files of file are used instead of file itself. The trick of this command is the automatic handling of archive members which is especially interesting if one wants to construct a (usually top-level) library archive out of pre-built sub-library archives (usually staying inside subdirs) in a large source tree. For GNU libtool based projects, a similar functionality is provided by GNU libtool internally, too. OPTIONS
The following command line options are available. -t, --trace Shows the actually involved shell commands. -C, --command cmd Set the used ar(1) command to cmd instead of just "ar" (searched in $PATH). EXAMPLE
# Makefile AR=ar RANLIB=ranlib : OBJS=foo.o bar.o LIBS=baz/libbaz.a quux/libquux.a : libfoo.a: $(OBJS) $(LIBS) shtool arx -C $(AR) rc libfoo.a $(OBJS) $(LIBS) $(RANLIB) libfoo.a HISTORY
The GNU shtool arx command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1999 for GNU shtool. It was prompted by need to build libraries out of sub-libraries inside the OSSP project. SEE ALSO
shtool(1), ar(1). 18-Jul-2008 shtool 2.0.8 SHTOOL-ARX.TMP(1)
