Thanks for the reply gilead.

For your NFS scenario, can you just test for the existence of a known file before your script executes?

Basically a script calling another script, with the parent script verifying that NFS is available? I thought of having a separate cron job that would do something like that and force a remount of the NFS volume if not found. Sounds like a great use of Nagios (which I'm not familiar enough with yet).

A drawback of the local working copy would be the lag between changes being made and migrated out to the other working copies. Is that a risk for you?

Not in our setup. Right now I'm the main person making changes to the repos, and the changes I make are often minor ones. That's one reason I'm leaning towards SVN working copies on each of the boxes + a cron job to sync them. Once I do get more familiar with Nagios it could probably run a script to bring the repos into sync if I wanted something more advanced.
NFS is nice when it works though, as everything is instantly up to date & managed from one location.
