David, Yes. Right now I'm using OGR to read data and that works fine, so its writing back an updated set that's the problem.
Actually I'm not sure if the mobile replication thing is going to cause me problems in addition to the regular issues with geodatabase. The main issue is that some fields are updated in the field as well as in the office. For the most part they aren't the same fields so I don't have to worry about collision, but the field needs to see some data that is updated in the office. (just realized I'm using field to mean 2 different things. sorry about that - I feel like I'm in that maflar south park episode where there is only one word in the alien vocabulary :)).

(it doesn't run as fast as the OS stuff, but the documentation is better and the user community is much larger) What exactly was your data flow again? attributes and geometries from pgeodb to postgis and then attributes and geoms back to the geodatabase?
