Shall I mount it again or is the problem with the symlink? Or both or something else? It already scanned the photos, so apparently I did something better than before ;-)
The fact that you are able to import the stuff means that the symlink is pointing to the proper location for the plugin. It is reading the AlbumData.xml file and all is good on that front. Now to get the actual physical photo that the AlbumData.xml file is pointing to, the plugin needs the exact path to find it.
When you share iPhoto stuff on your hosted Mac, what are you sharing? For example, if you are using default locations, then the root drive is usually your "Macintosh HD" drive. The actual AlbumData.xml then is located at /Volumes/Macintosh HD/<username>/Pictures/iPhoto Library/AlbumData.xml. Your symlink in the ATV Pictures folder is clearly pointing to the iPhoto Library pkg/dir, because your import works. However, the actual share and ATV mount should be the Macintosh HD, because it needs to have the complete path to the data.
Make better sense?
