We have been toying with the very same idea of eliminating NFS
dependencies.  On some of our machines, we want to run practically stand
alone.  One idea is to put a mini webserver on each machine.  I've heard
good things about boa (www.boa.org) and
it might be what we're looking for. 

Of course Blair's idea of having an independent cronjob run that
transfers the files on the condition that the receiving end is up and
alive.
