To what extent did RDM influence, or shape, the overall story-arc of DS9 once he became a producer of the show?

Yeah, that's what I gathered as well. Behr does the overall direction while Moore connects the A-to-B.
I'd just like to say that even though Moore is considered the brainchild of new BSG, I think that's also how he operates the show as well. Obviously he has tons of input, but he likes working on the intracacies with just a basic map out there to guide the staff. (I could be, however, horribly horribly mistaken. I just recently got into the show!)
By Season 4, Behr, Wolfe, Moore, Beimler, and Echevarria all had some kind of producer credit. (Wolfe left at the end of Season 5, while the rest stayed until the end.) Behr was the showrunner, and Moore had no more influence than any of the others in that group, AFAIK.
Moore brought the religion stories and Siskos role as the Emissary back to the forefront when he joined in season three. He felt they were being left behind.
^ I also think he was a big driver behind anything in the show related to the Klingons. To Ron Moore, Klingons R Us. 
It's what RDM likes!
I always have thought that was the case, especially given his recent work on BSG.
Wondering if RDM is on record anywhere talking about it.
Speaking of the DS9 Companion, I ordered it from Barnes and Noble who in turn ordered it directly from the publisher. They said they'd e-mail me when it's available for me to come pick up.
It's been nearly a month. Wonder if I'll ever see it... It's next to impossible to find now.

^^^ A shame since it has a wealth of info about how each episode came about. It answers so many questions that people ask here about who did what behind the scenes.
