If you are indeed referring to the WPAlchemy code, read the following, wpalchemy meta box storage article, I will be soon revising the code to make this aspect of interaction much easier for end users.
I believe this problem has been solved, if your issue persists please let me know.
try the following:
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $custom_text_mb->the_meta(); ?>
I am actually curious as to your final solution … I also want to create some sort of sync/deploy solution to be able to work with wordpress locally and more easily manage up and down transfers.
I am also searching for the correct trackback_url that wordpress uses …
I have had success with the following format: [permalink_url]/trackback/
I am looking for some documentation on the wordpress trackback spec … additionally this link may also help you … http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/docs/trackback_spec
