Why do this?  If you have the replication happening, when the mods
happen on the master, they'll be propogated.  Or are the mods
_schema_ mods?  In any case, I don't see what you're getting by
stopping slony.

BTW, depending on how big the files are, it might be worth
considering putting them in the database and reading them out at the
other side.  That way you'll get them there in the right order.
