When you create a DTS package and then right click it to schedule it, it creates a job for you with dtsexec calling the guid. If you then make changes to the DTS package will you have to reschedule the DTS package and delete the old schedule since the new version gets a new guid? I'm pretty sure you will but not totally certain. Thanks.

I found this bit of info:

The DTS Designer in Enterprise Manager creates a new version GUID when you modify the package, but the Package GUID remains the same. When the Wizards schedule a DTS package for you they use the Package GUID not the version GUID.

Can anyone verify whether this is correct? I've been asked the question and only have SQL 2005 on my work pc right now and can't test it out. Thanks.

Yes that is correct. I manually schedule my packages rather than using the wizard so that the dtsrun.exe passed parameters aren't that funky GUID.
