For the techie guys - opinions please.
What I've learnt
1.) You can't create symlinks to local drives on a server and then access then from another PC, so my solution is to use shares. (see code block2)
2.) You need to enable remote symlink access on the client accessing the share
This seems to work - I now have an accessible central media link share. Busy seeing what XBMC does with it.

Code:
fsutil behavior set SymlinkEvaluation R2R:1

Code:
$directories = "\\media-server\mediaC$\movies\", ""\\media-server\mediaD$\movies\
$target = "\\MEDIA-SERVER\MediaLink\Movies\"
foreach ($dir in $directories)
{
Get-ChildItem $dir |
ForEach {
cmd /c mklink /D "$target$_" "$dir$_"
}
}
