I pursued this a little more and ran into the same problem again when
running a commit.  The ultimate solution was to use NFS to mount the
webserver.  Leopard has a utility called "Directory Manager" that will
mount a webserver via NFS as if it's a local drive, so you can store
your working copy on a webserver and test directly without running any
commits.

I hope this saves someone a few days of frustration.  Don't hesitate
to contact me if this isn't working for you.
