Using MySQL with a thumbnails folder on a server that is mounted a local folder ont he clients and I can't pick the difference between my system using the internal SSD or the network share...so once you have it right, it's a solve and quick as need be...

I would like to setup the dropbox style sync but i am still hesitant relying on an external site to manage this. Really wish this was being considered to be a feature in XBMC.
Here is a better step-by-step guide on creating symlinks:

I had this working, but decided I would be better off with a localized copy of all the thumbnails on each machine running XBMC so I setup dropbox. Here's to hoping that this is added to the MySQL functionality sooner rather than later though!
