We implemented a simple site-to-site copy in a modified client (see http://www.scidac.org/SAM) and the only issues we saw are that, in general, DAV doesn't tell you which properties are 'live' (our server looks at the data and produces some live DAV properties), so you can't guarantee that everything can be transfered if the servers are configured differently. For slide import/export, I don't think this is a problem.
