Just upgraded to the latest nightly 21/9/2011 and still the same :{
Paul, I was having the exact same issue as you. In fact, unless I had SMB enabled in my Mac's sharing prefs Zeroconf on XBMC could not even SEE my Mac. If I turned SMB off, my mac did not show under Zeroconf when adding a source.
What finally worked for me was rebooting the AppleTV. Now, when I go to Zeroconf I see my Mac listed for AFP and SMB. Adding AFP worked like a charm at this point.
Steps I took:
-Install latest nightly.
-Reboot AppleTV after making sure XBMC could open (it did)
-Configure Mac to share my External USB drive (enabling SMB is pointless at this point, so I have turned it off)
-Made sure the group "Everyone" was set to read-only.
-Open XBMC after AppleTV rebooted
-Add a video source
-Choose Zeroconf
-Selected my Mac (which was now showing up as AFP)
-Added the folder I was sharing on it.
Done.
Try rebooting, seems like you have done everything else.
