@DruTheFu: Your scenario is not just a single machine and therefore requires a bit more of understanding of what do you really need to do and how are you currently doing it.
Symlinks in an exported NFS share are tricky. Kodi would likely undo a symlink it sees via an nfs:// source to its native path. A symlink for a local folder to a mounted folder would work well instead, however you already have a MySQL and path susbtitution in place, so I believe Symlink are neither appropiate nor needed anymore here. When you have several boxes running Kodi, the recommended way is not to share databases but to use a MySQL database and have each XBMC machine refer to that database. You are already doing so, and I don't see how your internal Fire TV storage is being filled up, if you have set a path substitution for your local thumbnails to an external source already. Have you set up the advancedsettings.xml correctly, and placed a copy of this xml along with a copy your sources.xml to the userdata folder on your Fire TV, and basically on every box running Kodi? http://kodi.wiki/view/MySQL/Setting_up_Kodi
I think (not sure) the path for userdata on Fire TV is: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.kodi.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/
