In fact, one of those might be your original problem - fsvs couldn't store
that it already transferred /dev/ (because 1-the snapshot is readonly, or
2-the change got lost after discarding the snapshot), so it tried again next
time, which didn't work ...
Another idea would be a sync-repos after the commit ... maybe that'd do the
trick, too.
Although I'd recommend just setting the environment variables, like shown
above -- that should be sufficient.
Please tell me whether that worked ... then I could do a howto for that (or
maybe you'll send me one ?-)
