I have a similar situation, just that the only connection are floppy
disks in my backpack.

I have set up a system of scripts for carrying changed files from one
place to another.  In particular, this allows me to transport
non-recorded changes, too - it's great that a darcs repo is just a
directory that can be copied at will.

I can send you my scripts on the weekend if you are interested.

I think this means that any change must be recorded (and possibly
unrecorded again) before the sending.  I found it easier to just copy
the directories.
