The error message comes from usher, which is not my science field :) -
but in general it really tells you already what went wrong:

  No server for pattern 'net.venge.monotone'

Its only a bit unfortunate that its somewhat "hidden" inside the other
netsync error cruft...

Right, and to be honest this is also somewhat wanted, because on the
client side people with write permissions have to be a little bit more
careful when syncing. And even readers will notice that not every branch
is available under the same URI.

I blogged about all this largely yesterday [0] and hope people who have
problems read and understand it (its cross-linked on monotone.ca like
the other ones).

Thomas.
