I have been working with an excellent library for CouchDB development called relax-net, located here: http://code.google.com/p/relax-net/.
After having some discussions with Nick, the creator of the library and overall really nice guy I found it was lacking some support for Replication and Replication Filters, so I took the time to write em and include that support into the library. Thanks for including me in the acknowledgement Nick!!!
–UPDATE – I found that the code I committed into the project was not complete, when you add a replication document to the _replicator database, you have to make sure you are doing a POST instead of a PUT. The current code was just placing documents in the system and not kicking any kind of replication off.
