If they were the ones about files on one client not appearing on the other, 
and about replicating the root volume on a server that wasn't present when 
the root volume was created, I got them. I suppose the rest of the list did 
too.

I didn't reply because I've not used coda for some time now. Memory's hazy and 
others know better. I still lurk though...

Having said that I think I added answers to questions like these to the wiki 
when I was using it. The first one may be relatively simple, but the second 
is IIRC rather hard. I hope someone will step in if I'm just plain wrong :-)

Check whether your clients are strongy connected, weakly connected or even 
disconnected. I used to find the client would often decide the connection to 
the server wasn't good, and not send its changes to the server or check the 
server for updates. Using cfs to force a strong connection usually seemed to 
sort this out, if only temporarily.

Getting a new server to replicate an existing volume was an unsupported 
process IIRC, but there was a description of a hacky way to do it. I first 
tried a single server, then tried adding a new server and replicating the 
root volume on it, and I failed. It was much easier to blow it away and start 
again since I had nothing important on it. I don't know if it's become easier 
since then.

Good luck!
