so in xbmc the movie source displays as only one folder while it contains the content of e:/movies, f:/movies and g:/movies
does this explanation make any sense to you?
But what's the point? Why not just have 3 normal media sources? I can support it but I'm not sure about the format and I can't find any spec for it.
because of my folder structure i would end up with 18(!) sources.
I'm not sure why i chose the multipath alternative back when i started, but now it's just much easier to enter ONE folder for movies and don't have to remember if i placed the movie on the e: f: or g: drive. (we all have to enter file mode once in while to correct some of xbmc's "not-so-scrapable" files)
here they mention something about parsing each path from multipath, perhaps a pointer in the right direction? (keep in mind that i don't know anything about scripting)

i do realize that i cant come here and demand that your work should support my setup... (but a bit odd that i'm the only one using multipath)
but if you decide to find a solution to this "problem" i will gladly use this script, as it brings me one step closer to a almost fully automated media center =D
