&gt;   This is exactly what I do, as a matter of fact. But what if things
&gt; fail halfway through transferring a group of objects? (I.e. Bubba is
&gt; transported but failure happens halfway through transferring the
&gt; things he's carrying?)  And what happens if something nasty happens
&gt; between the time when the object is linked into the new node's
&gt; database and the acknowledgement is sent?

Anyone of the standard transaction wrappers would do.  Just put a
transaction wrapper about the transfer of the entire set of objects
with a two stage commit.
