Sorry to say that I've come to this too. But I'm goning for one last 
shot. (BTW: Have you tried OpenAFS - it's quite similar to CODA).
But I *really* want that nice replication stuff for offline use of a 
laptop. But something tells me this is wrong if coda has lived for over 
10 years - and is not used more than it is and lacks all that 
documentation (clear docu that is). Otherwise it seems a little limited 
(volumesizes and such which we have discussed).

What version will you go for? The standard one seems flaky and old. Seen 
a "enhanced NBD" version which looks more promising.

I think Intermezzo will be th successor, yes. But it's still too immature.
