This doesn't work for me either.
Part of the problem is that the author assumes that all pcs are running Windows. The other part of the problem is that the author doesn't elaborate on mounting media shares. By this I mean, if my server (also a media center) has my files stored on /media, then when I share via samba to my other computer, then the media locations don't match and xbmc is unable to find the files.
I sent an email to the author (his email is on the lifehacker page) and he didn't get back to me. While this was an exciting article, I have yet to see a working implementation.
