Do you mind filling me in on the SMB syntax for the config.xml?
...
in the log - no files get written. Any suggestions? I'm new to this XML thing, clearly

Sorry, I meant set up the path for your source as smb in XBMC. Then in the config file, you use whatever syntax your OS uses to access samba shares. For windows its

Code:

\\server\path\to\share

After pulling only my queue in, again, the files were downloaded, added to the xbmc library, but not converted to strm for playing. Here's my searchfilter:

Code:

<Hulu path="plugin://plugin.video.hulu">
        <subfolder name="Queue" type="episodes" />
                                
        <exclude>
            <contains>previous page</contains>                    
            <contains>next page</contains>                        
        </exclude>
    </Hulu>

Weird....

Do you happen to have the log file for this?
You are really close. The reason it's not converted to a .strm is because this program never finds it in XBMC's database.
The way I see it is that one of three things is wrong:

1. Your dropbox\Tv Shows directory has not been added as a source in XBMC and had it's content type set to "TV Shows" (this should be done after some .mpg's exists in the dropbox). From your screenshot, it looks like the .mpg is in the library, so this probably isn't the issue.
   
2. (most likely) - The path to your TV Shows directory in XBMC is different than the path you specified in the Config file. For example, one uses a network share and the other uses a local path. They have to be the same. I personally use a network share "\\onyx\\dropbox\\tvshows" in the config file, and in xbmc I set the source up as a smb path to the same directory.
   To troubleshoot this, can you post the contents of your sources.xml file (in XBMC's userdata directory) as well as your dropbox config in the Config.xml so I can compare.
   
3. The query to your SQL database to determine if the dummy .mpg files is in the library is failing. However we would see this in the logs as an ERROR and I don't think we've seen that.
   

As a disclaimer, my testing is limited to a Windows environment so things may be slightly different if your running a different OS
