We've tested a Drupal module (http://drupal.org/project/oai_pmh) that imports
collection metadata from OAI-PMH compliant repositories, and it works well
enough, but it still puts us in the same but as you with no bitstreams.
We're talking to the company that built the OAI-PMH module about developing
something for OAI-ORE that will get us the bitstreams (or bitstream links)
while leaving the master files (i.e. high-resolution TIFFs) in the underlying
DSpace repository.
