Yes, there's some overlap with sbrsh, but in general most of Raemo is higher level and agnostic to underlying protocols. I think it could in fact use sbrsh as backend just fine. Raemo also works out many of the problems that sbrsh has (no sessions, opens new connection for every call, NFS problems) and that are listed on Sbrsh2-ideas[1] (I'll have to sync with its developers). There's even been some initial discussion if Raemo could take the role of sbrsh in Scratchbox2. Also the approach is a bit different, as Raemo doesn't try to be as transparent as sbrsh, eg no magic is done to try to share the environment from host to target (some of this is done via mounting though) and it's designed to be run without Scratchbox session (following more of Sb2's style).
