If you put that 'for' loop one-liner inside, I think you forgot to make
"/home/gene/bin/disktest.txt" executable:
$ chmod +x /home/gene/bin/disktest.txt

It's not possible for me to know what went wrong.
Have you created "reftestfile" inside "/mnt/disktest" directory?
How many "testfile*" files, if any, were created on the filesystem
mounted at "/mnt/disktest"?
Was there anything relevant in the syslog about "sdm" drive after the test?
If you'd followed my instructions step by step, you'd end up inside
"/mnt/disktest" directory and for the last step all you had to do is
copy and paste that one-liner 'for' loop into the command line.
It's a long line and it really meant to be copied and pasted not typed
by hand, and also to give you the idea of the process, so you could
adjust it if needed.
I've tested it again on my computer and it worked as expected,
synchronously created "testfiles" inside current directory and
calculated their hashes one by one.
