Windows Server 2008 R2 SYSVOL

Is Sysvol on a 2008 R2 RODC ALWAYS in read-only mode or is it read-only,
ONLY when DFS-r is in use?

It is read-only. Changes won't replicate out to writable DCs.

Hello Kevin,

Yes, see "Read-only SYSVOL" for more details in:

Does this hold good in a windows 2003 domain?, is there any specific DFL or
FFL for DFS Replication?

Not sure if I understand your point. DFS does not rely on a specific DFL
or FFL level. Writable DCs have a writable copy of SYSVOL/NETLOGON and
can therefore replicate changes out to other DCs.
