This could be achived by having each person/isolated network use netsync to serve the database stored on the USB key, then syncing their local database(s) against it. > Also, we'd like to have a central repository on our main network.

Each monotone database is used as a single-user database, so storing a single shared database on an NFS server is not going to work. It may work if the NFS-shared database was _only_ used to sync against each developer's local database, but even then you would need a way to coordinate access to that shared database, and it's questionable whether SQLite's locking will work with any given NFS server[0].
