i didn't intend to suggest there was any similarity between send|recv and AVS.
i don't think i actually mentioned AVS, except in passing to note i'd rejected
it as a solution (since it doesn't allow to mount the filesystem on both
systems simultaneously).

having said that, the homemade script i use now has been fairly resilient to
errors (including starting another copy when the previous one hasn't finished,
and when the receiving system goes away during the send).  when it encounters
something unexpected, it fails gracefully and a human can fix the problem.

it's not AVS, but for our environment it works fine.  the only thing it's
missing is the ability to 'push' changes continuously, rather than polling
every 10 minutes.
