I'm not sure either, but I don't think UPnP can be used outside of the local network.
A lot of ISPs block Windows Sharing/SMB because it was once used by a virus or something, and it's rare that people need it over the internet.
Best bets are probably HTTP directory (literally just setting up web sharing and adding the directory listing to XBMC as a source), WebDAV, FTP.
I would try with webDAV, as it's basically the same thing (from a port forwarding standpoint) as HTTP, but you can use HTTPS and a password if you wish.
