Hello everyone! fixed the problem with not working SMB over Mavericks by installing SMBUp. SMB now works, but there is a new bug now - synchronization over mysql doesn't work anymore.
That's a really annoying issue with this Mavericks OS. Can somebody tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or that's just a temporary bug in this nightly build of XBMC which works with Mavericks?
Thank you!

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you need mysql for?

Other clients are OpenElec installed to Raspberry Pies. I'm was not sure that there is a possibility to instal the nightly on RPi. I don't think that this is the cross platform problem... I never had any problems using different builds yet.

Fixed the mysql issue by installing the latest stable 12.2 Frodo+mavericks_patch. There was a problem in nightly build. Now everything works well.
So to finalize xbmc over mavericks CAN work. You just need to use not apple's SMB issues.

Yep. Apples's SMB2.0 still don't work with XBMC.

The SMB issue that SMBUp was being used for was fixed in one of the v12 bug fix releases. If it's not working with 10.9 then that is a new issue.

Many thanks to all who advised about installing SMBUp.
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks over the weekend, running Frodo 12.2 on a Win7 machine streaming from external drives connected to my iMac.
I was eventually able to restore my network connections between Windows and OS X but discovered after adding a couple of new movies to my collection that they weren't being scraped, I could browse to the directories via Windows Explorer and see the files so it wasn't because of the network connection.
After investigating possible causes I noticed a peculiar behaviour in XBMC where I could browse to the drive where I added the movies but there were 0 items in the specific directory. Initially I thought maybe it didn't like spaces between the names of the folders containing the movie files and after an hour of troubleshooting I realised that XBMC connecting to SMB shares hosted on Mavericks couldn't see any more than around 50 titles in a single folder.
As the enormity of this dawned upon me due to the size of my library I was faced with the prospect of either reinstalling Snow Leopard, reorganising my entire collection and rescraping or searching the forums for a possible solution.
I'm so glad I decided upon the latter. Installed SMBUp and samba shares are working perfectly again (in truth better than they were before) and I won't lose hours out of my day with downgrading the OS or rescraping my entire library.
