I've read all the threads and guides I could find on using MySQL shared databases and still have a couple of questions. I've got the MySQL portion setup and working and XBMC on XP can access the data but of course my Linux paths don't work on the XP machines. My current shares are mounted using ntfs-3g and consist of the following paths which are all NTFS drives:

/media/FreeAgent_Drive/TVSeries
/media/hitachi/MKVFiles
/media/WDDrive/TVSeries

What do I need to do in Linux and with the paths in XBMC so that I can access the files using the same paths from both Linux and XP? Do they all get changed to UNC path? I got excited when I saw the path substitution in advanced settings only to find out that it only works with playlists. I've reverted my setup back to separate databases until I get this figured out.

Current fstab
#Entry for /dev/sdd1 :
UUID=DC00ABE500ABC4BC /media/FreeAgent_Drive ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
#Entry for /dev/sdc1 :
