I think a big component of my problem may be with this. "but I believe that any file appearing next to a green START button in rdairplay is an open file" It's very possible the show segment that is playing the incorrect day's audio is loaded in one of the lower positions of the rdairplay window by the time the new audio comes from the syndication.
I don't think I'd be having a problem with my /var/snd mount because all other audio is playing correctly. The hard drive on the client machine is nowhere near big enough to hold a copy of the server's /var/snd. I'll try to 'pad some time' in between segments so there are more elements (liners, songs, bumps) that will play in rdairplay before loading the next segment into the green button play slots. Thanks for the idea of a file being 'open' if it's in a play slot.
