If a debt has been paid to the original creditor and they recall it from their collection agency will a dispute succeed in having it removed from the credit report?

Hard to say. Disputing the collection after you pay off the creditor could still come back as 'verified' from the credit bureaus simply because the collection did happen. If the collection agency does not respond to the credit bureau's query, then the entry will be removed.

You can dispute the collection agency entries as well. Often times if you have paid the debt, the collection agency will no longer keep records, thus be unable to prove the debt when you dispute it. They more than likely won't even respond, as they got their money and don't care anymore.

Collection acct removed but original creditor still remains?
Yes, reporting to your credit by a collections agency does not effect the reporting originally made by your creditor. It most normal cases you would see the original creditor having reporting the account as a "charge off" regardless of any reporting made by a collections agency afterwords.
How can you remove a collection agency entry from your report if you have paid the original creditor and there is no need to deal with the agency?
Send proof of payment to the original creditor and the information being reported against you by the collection agency. Request that they make sure the collection account is withdrawn and their original account is listed as paid. Upon receipt of that letter, send a dispute letter to the credit reporting agencies with your proof of payment. Follow up until your credit report is correct. updated entry: This is pretty good, but one problem is that neither the creditor nor the collection agency will be all that motivated to do anything since you have already paid the debt. But is really your only option at this point. Keep doing this over and over (every 2-3 months). I am always surprised, but sometimes things get removed on my 3rd or 4th time.
If you dispute items on your credit report are they removed temporarily while they are being verified by the credit companies?
Disputed items are not removed from your credit report during the period of "verification". If you dispute an entry with a collection agency, they are supposed to notate the disputed account upon their next update. Updating the trade line without that notation constitutes continued collection activity and is a violation of law. There is no such obligation on the credit bureaus themselves. They simply must complete their verification within 30 days from receiving your dispute. If the reporting creditor verified the trade line within that time period, you are informed. If the reporting creditor fails to respond, or does not verify, the trade line is shielded from further reports.
