I agree some automator love be nice then use terminal todo the md5 stuff, pretty easy
If memory serves me correctly, there should be an MD5 checksum automator action built into automator. This would save time of having to use terminal to verify the file checksums. If it's not already there I know for sure you can download it online and add it to your automator.
I think that is a library, cause my automator library is stock and i see no md5 but even better
For 3 BTC I can write a python script that does this for you.
I should be able to have it written for you within a day of whenever you give me the go-ahead.

I'm looking for someone to write me a script (anything that will run on osx) to do the following:
Copy all files from 4 different external hard drives, one at a time.
The script does not need to retain folder structure, I want it to dump all files from all drives in to one main folder.
After copying files from the first drive to the destination path, I then want it to start copying files from the second drive (possibly using rsync) in to the same main destination folder.
If files have the same name, but contents is different, I want it to rename the files and then copy to destination.
If files have same name and identical contents, skip copying.
If files have different name and identical contents, skip copying.
When comparing files, i think it would be wise to use multiple checks/balances. Example, if file names are the same and byte size is the same, md5 it and if thats a match, skip copying one of them.
If file names are the same and the byte size is different, rename one of them and copy both to destination.
This is really hard to explain, so feel free to ask me any questions you like. Also please let me know what you would charge to do this and how soon it can be completed.
