We were shooting some Avid workflow videos yesterday at Small Tree to help customers working with non-proprietary shared storage and Avid.
One thing that seems to work well is sparse disk images. Doctor's in Training is doing this with the 30-45 minute training videos for overseas doctors.
You create a sparse disk image *on the shared storage*. You double click to mount it. It will mount locally as a local disk. You point Avid at it for import and pull in your video and do your work. When complete, unmount and it's there for someone else. OS X takes care of locking to be sure someone can't mount it while you're using it. They'll get "resource temporarily unavailable".
