Is there any way to be able to move the point of the UserData folder, to say a samba share, and have all my XBMC systems look at that point.

This might be a hack'ish way and I'm not too sure if it's very efficient, but you could create a "symbolic link" that points to a single "userdata" folder on your samba share. I'm not sure if symbolic links can be created on the Xbox though.

I would start by copying my current working "userdata" folder to my network share (samba,nfs,etc.). You probably need to adjust the permissions so that this shared "userdata" folder can be read/written to.

For example:
I have mine auto mount to a folder /media/xbmc/

Then for each installation of XBMC, navigate to your userdata folder and delete it. And create a symbolic link to the shared "userdata" folder.

For example:

Code:

sudo ln -s /media/xbmc/userdata /home/username/xbmc/userdata

where the first path is the location of the actual files that now exist on your network share, and the second path is the location that XBMC is looking for the files (the one we just deleted).

I haven't tested this, so be sure to investigate it more on your own before trying.
