I was thinking running a 6th database with joint capabilities with user 1 and 2.

But what about if user 2 watches something by themselves. Should it not also be displayed with a tick on database 6 so that you know at least one of you have watched it.

I like how you're thinking...I could definitely see benefits of this functionality if it existed. But in this couples case, I'd want a record of what we've watched together so that we know what is okay and not okay to discuss... ie spoilers. Sometimes we re-watch episodes together if one of us had seen them already. That's just the habit we're in.

Actually come to think about it, it could be done with 2 triggers, one for each way.

Also i would make database 6 the couples database and database 7 the family database.

When installing the clients you can choose to install both, one or neither just by leaving them un-named.

If you could do this, i'd be indebted to you. Having both triggers would not only solve our family's problem but also give us the best of both worlds. We can track what we've watched individually, what we've watched together, and choose from completely unwatched material easily

Im starting to think that my simple script could change the way a lot of people use XBMC.

Count me as one of them. But now that I'm thinking about it, you're right. And since I've been thinking about it, the next evolution of this would be able to get XBMC or the skins to have access to all of these DB's so you could filter/place marked multiple ticks based on it - all from some master profile. Now we're just dreaming!

I would love to be able to keep track of what I watch individually from my wife since she is home all day using XBMC and this messes up Lazy TV and some Smart Playlists for myself?

Send her out to work?

Believe me amigo, she's at work while at home. But she has some superhuman power to be able to chase toddlers and huskies around while still paying attention to what's on the tube.
