How to compare two directories using File Checksum Integrity Verif

I copied a user's home directory to a new location. Before I delete the files
from the old location, the user wants me to assure them that no corruption
occurred during the copy. One of my coworkers suggested using the File
Checksum Integrity Verifier. I have downloaded it but am having trouble
understanding the operation. I don't want to store the hash in an xml
database unless there is no way around it. I just want to create a hash of
\\serverA\userhome and compare it to \\serverB\userhome in real time to see
if the hashes are identical. userhome contains at least several dozen
subdirectories and maybe 4,000 files. I want to do the whole thing in one
compare if possible. If a different Discussion Group would be more
appropriate for this question, please advise.

Thanks,
Don
