It is worth trying what you describe, but those shouldn't be issues.

One thing to check is to see if both sides are updating the variable. By design, the server/robot wins the tie, so if the variable is changing on the client and occasionally written by the robot, the robot may be stomping the other value updates.

Another thing that is worth mentioning is that the values for client and DS are only replicated at 100ms periods unless you give them different timeouts. Another option is to call the Flush command if you want the updates to be sent immediately. Again the changes will propagate to local machine copies almost immediately, but if you are setting it that quickly, you may want to change the communication rate between machines.
