Thanks for that update. I forgot to follow up. Unfortunately I wasn't running the replication (a coworker was trying it at a separate location and he's too nervous/scared/old to post to the mailing list himself - haha) to know what exactly worked in terms of tweaking the settings. Ill try to find out though.
We tried it using 1.2 on Linux/OS X after trying 1.3 and it failed again. We then ran using Couch on Windows and it worked fine. So maybe we were building couch wrong. (I thought there were binaries for couch on *nix?) So now we've got 48GB of modules we need to package up and I'm sure there will be more questions along the way. Big thanks to all the suggestions and help its much appreciated (and if you ever come to Denver or the DenverJS meetup ill buy you a beer or three).
