One of the reasons I am not using wordpress is because it's almost impossible to have a remote install that is just like your remote. I couldn't login to chance my database locally and then just upload those changes to the remote and so on and so forth. Just a horrid mess in my opinon. I gave it about 1 day to figure it out and came up with very little. Too much work and very little in return.
I hope that this won't be the issue with Serendipity (i like the blog so far right now).
Well, if you use that kind of installation, you always need to upload your locally modified files to the remote host. Depending on what you exactly want to do, you might even need to upload database changes to your new host. I'm not sure what exactly you want to do.
Developing templates and plugins can be done easily with a local installation, because you only need to upload the plugin and template files to your new host. But then again, this should also apply for WordPress.

I actually think that this is what I wanted: http://www.s9y.org/198.html
I've been screwing with Java and Eclipse right now so I haven't had the chance to try to deploy local->remote yet. After lunch. I might have some how-tos if i get this to work
What happens when you try to create the serendipity_exits table? If it's not created, SQL must report an error...?!
