The old instructions no longer work if you install the windows live essentials update.
You need to do the fix above.
We were sharing fine UNTIL we installed the update.

OK, so, ignoring A and B..
NMP = Network Media Player. e.g. WDTV Live
The fix listed works for XBMC. It may or may not work for an NMP.
Maybe you should try the forums for your NMP or another one (like the Western Digital forums) - it looks like this affected everyone with Win7 & Live Essentials..

Is there an easy solution for this problem without de-installing windows live and without introducing security risks (permissions)? Thanks you.

I just discovered that it seems like this won't work for new files that are added, that is, you will have to apply the security permissions again for new files - i really hope there's a proper fix for this soon!
Edit: Okay this problem is related to how the file is copied, it seems that sickbeard doesn't make windows apply security settings when it copies over the file, this is probably related to how python copies/moves files?

I managed to get this working on my Windows 7 64bit box simply by having Homegroup turned on and the right click each share, choose "share with" select "specific people" and then "add" and type "everyone".
Job done.

I am having this same issue on Windows XP PC after updating XBMC from 9.X to Dharma RC1. I have never installed, or used, Windows Live Essentials, or any of the discussed gaming-enabling software. All of my media is hosted on a linux-based NAS, which show up in windows "My Network Places," and they are attached to my XP-hosted XBMC over SMB shares. I have been using XBMC for about a year with no issue accessing these shares until update to Dharma RC1. So I am not sure what the fix would be for me, other than go back to 9.x.
Dharma RC1 just keeps asking me for my profile password....
