Jim, Thanks for the info, others too! Seems like this V brake clearance thing is a non-issue so long as I get the right brake.
The brake will be supplemental (stoker controlled) to the discs--just in case on those long descents with gear. I'm new to the disc thing so the extra insurance seemed prudent. Most of the time it won't even be on the bike, but when we decide to venture into terrain we feel may warrant it, just a 10-minuite add-on. We'll get a good taste straight away as we'll collect the bike a few miles from RBW HQ, so its going to see a bit of Mt. Diablo for a couple of weeks before it returns with us to Thailand. Since you mentioned it, if you or others have any mechanical disc suggestions beyond the Avid BB7 or Bengal caliper/Shimano Ice rotor combo, would love to hear them.
