I won't be much help, i don't use hot deployment (found it too flaky in
earlier releases)
but i've been using remote deployment mostly from the command line on a
remote box 
and that's been very solid...you just use statements like:
java -jar deployer.jar --user system --password ******* deploy my-welcome
(my-welcome being the app) and...undeploy. Can be done from the admin.
console if 
you want instead.  - could be worth trying as an alternative, seems robust.
cheers
