Hi
For the archives, I'll comment on my own question.

I've added code to refresh objects from the database store ...
It works well except when another machine has deleted an
object. I've
tried several ways of overcoming the NSObjectInaccessibleException
I found that calling refreshObject with mergeChanges: NO doesn't
cause that exception, nor any other, faulting the object as it
does. However, if I use mergeChanges: NO on all the objects
that meet my criteria for remote change I lose some of the
user's in-memory changes. So, I now compare the object's
modificationDate to the last save date (time). If its newer I
use mergeChanges: YES, if older I use mergeChanges: NO.
For a reason that I don't yet fully grasp, I had to use
primitiveValueForKey to access the object's modificationDate or
else it didn't give the desired result. Perhaps it's to do with
the evil manner in which I set the modification date: in a
custom, global superclass's didChangeValueForKey. I note that,
re the Apple Docs, I am "strongly discouraged from overriding"
didChange. A worry...
In any case, so far, its working well, even if two machines
delete the same chunk of object graph, and, in other previously
troublesome scenarios. I can conceive of scenarios where it
might still throw but they are sufficiently perverse that an
exception may well be the best outcome.
Cheers,
Steve
