Yes, the VFS should be serializable, but as you say, its as usable as the underlying url. file urls won't be usable unless there is a shared filesystem between the client and server.

The current ws failures are due to JBVFS-17. The serialization of the NestedJarFromStream is broken, and what I'm currently working.
