Here is the code for my addon. A few things to note:
1) It requires having the Sage webserver and API installed as this creates the xml files with metadata
2) Since I've only been using this myself I haven't setup a proper "Settings" file yet, so you need to put your Sage server URL and port in the code (only one time at the top, and it reads it everywhere else needed), with username and password
3) In the "categories" function it calls the addDir function twice, once for all shows and once for The Daily Show. I have those as examples, you could just use the all shows to list everything, or create as many other folders as you'd like by copying the Daily Show line. You can do this with a specific show, category, or any search you can perform in the SageTV web interface. You just run the search, and then click the XML link to get the URL for the XML file. So you can have folders for a show, for the 10 most recent recordings, anything you want really.
4) One other edit you need: in the last line of the Videolinks function change the paths to whatever suits your system. This just changes the local paths in the SageTV XML to smb paths for XBMC. If you're running SageTV on the same machine it isn't needed.
I have a bunch of comments on how things are working since I was learning Python on the fly while writing this, that should help answer any questions, but let me know if something's not working and I can try to help.
ETA: To "install" this just create a folder called SageTV in your addons directory, and copy the code below into a file named Default.py and the xml file into a file called addon.xml
Code:

You'll also need the addon.xml to make XBMC see the addon. Code below:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="plugin.program.SageTV"
name="SageTV"
version="1.0.0"
provider-name="">
<requires>
<import addon="xbmc.python" version="1.0"/>
</requires>
<extension point="xbmc.python.pluginsource"
library="default.py">
<provides>video</provides>
</extension>
<extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">
<platform>all</platform>
<summary>SageTV plugin</summary>
<description>connect to SageTV library</description>
</extension>
</addon>
Hope this works for you, let me know if you have questions.
