Increasing the mass will also change the vibrational frequency of any 
bonds involved, requiring a reparametrization of the bonded force 
constant. If you're using constraints, this does not matter, but then I 
sort of wonder why you're bothering to replace H with D and expect to 
see any kind of difference.
