I think there is a way for Linux and Windows systems. Create a symlink (on Linux) or NTFS Link (on Windows) to a shared directory (in this case, the UserData for XBMC) on all systems. This way, all computers are using the same data located on one computer.
However, you cannot use local media in your library if you do this. The reason for this is that computer1 will have H:\Films\, but computer2 should access \\computer1\Films\ for the movies. So, when adding items to your library, you need to add them over the network -- even for the local computer. So, computer1 accesses \\computer1\...\, as will all other computers on the network.
