okay, *might* find time to have a look into this solution, thanks for
the suggestion.

me too, I even went away on holiday thinking it was working, since I set
up the remote mount and successfully managed a "darcs get", of course
didn't have anything to push so didn't try this, and came back today to
find it doesn't work :(
like you say, oh well.
