As far as I can tell you really do want to replace the format, not add a book. The add_format command does that. Why do you want add a new book if the source file has changed instead of replacing the file in the existing book?

As for the ID, I assume that the book has some known attribute that you can use to match the book. If that attribute is title, then the following command provides trivially parsable output
Code:
calibredb list -f uuid -s "title:\"=the first lensman\""
