Yes, but apparently no answers :-)

If it is possible to setup and manage dirvish on the remote end, you 
will have an easier time if you simply trigger it from the client.  
It's architecture is not exactly conducive to "push" at the moment, but 
I'm sure enhancements would be welcome.

If you check the archives, I believe there have been a few related 
discussions.  Yours is a bit different in that you're talking mostly 
about having the storage and management disconnected but with optimized 
remote copies (and you'll need to make the hardlinks on the remote side 
too.)  If you find the bit in the code that performs the 
copy-before-sync, you might discover a way to make that command run on 
the remote side.
