I've set the NDLR Clock In to "ClkIn CV" yet the NDLR isn't affected by the volca's Tempo. Is it that the Sync rate isn't really CV but rather a simple square pulse?
My big question: is there a way to get Clock In from a volca?

Hello,

Try using mono jack cable (TS) for NDLR, the ones that came with Volcas don't work for sync in/out.

Thanks for the idea. Testing I can say that using a mono cable from Volca Out to NDLR Clock In doesn't work. However, using a NDLR Clock Out to Volca In works.
My latest workflow has been to use my Korg ER-1 MIDI Out to the NDLR In to control the master tempo.

Man, I love the Korg ER-1. Definitely one of my favorite drum machines. 
Glad to hear you were able to find a configuration that works for you.

Yep, the Er-1 is such a classic (easy and intuitive to program on the fly w/ tons of programs & two gated inputs) for funky electronic sounds. I'm not as mobile as I'd like to be with this setup but for jamming in the studio it works fine.
