So basically, people don't use samba for a reason (usually performance), which should be a surprise to no one really.
As far as the XBMC builds, that was explained earlier. Beta2 and newer have a downgraded libnfs that when combined with other post Beta1 code breaks art *if* the artwork files being loaded come from an NFS share (If you refresh and select to use an -online- source, it'll load the art), likewise XBMC uses the Thumbnails folder to cache what it actually displays, and if it's already in there it has no need to load from the NFS share -- and that art will show (which causes some confusion).
Frodo 12.3 and Gotham Beta 1 have the newer libnfs that's compatible with whatever code changes to the artwork stuff that happened between Beta 1 and 2, while Beta 2 has the downgraded version of libnfs (for windows only) that is *not* compatible with said artwork changes/whatever related to that. Unfortunately, the newer one reportedly causes havoc on some users' video libraries.
What you can do to get artwork working on Beta 3 for windows is to simply drop the libnfs.dll file from Beta 1 over Beta 3's. However, if you were having issues with Beta 1 / Frodo 12.3 and your library, those issues would very likely come back. Personally, I've not been able to reproduce the library issues and came in to this over the artwork problems, so I simply use Beta 1's (the newer libnfs) libnfs.dll.
