But, if you need to have independently controlled clients with own video and OSD, you need to run several instances of VDR - it doesn't matter if you run all VDR instances on server or at each client. I run several VDR instances on the server:
- less maintenance, only one installation of VDR and plugins required
- allows using diskless clients (and with less memory)
- Faster cutting / DVD burning / ... as there is no network between VDR and disks
- no need to export/mount /video to every client

Nice setup! What kind of remote control do you use on the clients running xine and how does it work to send the command to the vdr session?
LIRC, vdr-sxfe forwards LIRC commands from remote system to VDR (--lirc option). Keyboard works too, and I belive any device accessible thru /dev/event interface should work with evdev <-> lirc forwarding daemon.
