It doesn't.  When the daemon writes:

   expected: 0dids4n73p8w77pn9nffs7x0ww1a3f1jbic1p642hwd0jfl3zcg9
   actual:   1r3v22qkypccqifzbww5lrn6hf1chi23m6zzkyvb8bvg457nxslq

that means that the output hashes to
1r3v22qkypccqifzbww5lrn6hf1chi23m6zzkyvb8bvg457nxslq, but you told it to
expect 0dids4n73p8w77pn9nffs7x0ww1a3f1jbic1p642hwd0jfl3zcg9.

Yes it does.  This matches what the daemon wrote was the "actual" hash.

It matches both of them.

I think the problem is here:

  (define hash (sha256
                (base32
                 "1r3v22qkypccqifzbww5lrn6hf1chi23m6zzkyvb8bvg457nxslq")))

Remove the 'sha256'.  It should just be this:

  (define hash (base32
                "1r3v22qkypccqifzbww5lrn6hf1chi23m6zzkyvb8bvg457nxslq"))

Within 'origin' records, the 'sha256' is the field name, part of the
constructor syntax.  Here, you are not within an 'origin' constructor,
and the 'sha256' is instead a procedure which computes the sha256 hash
of its argument.
