If you just want to pre-load your images, run:
on each client, either manually or scheduled (eg. cron). The above command will pre-load (cache) all images - addons+albums+artists+movies+sets+tvshows - apart from songs which you can pre-load separately (ie. ./texturecache.py c songs). Once a client is fully cached, you can then start performing incremental caching (using lc instead of c, and modifying the timestamp on a file of your choosing).
The other way is to rsync Textures13.db and the Thumbnails folder, but that approach has other drawbacks unless your fanartres/imageres settings are identical on all clients.
