When I walked the Wainwright's Coast to Coast a few years ago we arranged for a company called the "White Knights" (mainly retired gentlemen) to transport our luggage from one B&B to the next - leaving us free to carry just a day-pack.
I have read many camino related FAQ which advise that pilgrims who transport their backpacks can't stay at the pilgrim refuges. This is not entirely correct. Many commercial, private albergues (including most of the Red de Albergues) accept reservations and pilgrims with transported luggage. It is mainly the church and municipal sponsored albergues that won't accept pilgrims who have vehicle backup.
You can use the local taxis to take your luggage from one place to the next - or you can use one of these services:

http://www.jacotrans.com/ingles/iquienes.htm : Carry backpacks, bikes, hire equipment.
Express Bourricot will transport your luggage as far as Logrono - apcaroline@hotmail.com
Pamplona to Burgos - Globetrotter Transportes will carry bicycles as well as rucksacks and other equipment Rucksacks cost €7 each per stage.
There is something for everyone on the camino - which is what makes it such a special trail.
