It's working! I can check out a working copy to my laptop from my server
3000 miles away. Make a change, add a file, etc. When I commit, it goes
back into the repository AND updates the development website, which is
simply a working copy that is on the same machine as the repository, again,
3000 miles away. I can then check out the trunk manually to the live
website on that same machine, when the development website is confirmed
working.

Here's my next question... Is it truly unsafe to have OTHER files show up in
on the development and live sites, placed there by the content management
system code that IS in the repository? The CMS is in the repository, the
files uploaded BY the CMS when it's in use are not, nor will they ever be.
What are the pitfalls of having "extra" files in the development and live
website directories, that are not under version control? What is the
likelyhood of a real disaster, and what types of things could cause a
disaster to occur?

Thanks for your time... I am so excited that this seems to be so rock solid
so far...
