Is there any way to make the folder above userdata (i.e. .kodi) available over SMB?

Code:

cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /storage/.config/samba.conf

then add whatever extra shares you need, eg.

Code:

[Kodi]
  path = /storage/.kodi
  available = yes
  browsable = yes
  public = yes
  writable = yes
  root preexec = mkdir -p /storage/.kodi
