[geeks] iTunes and network filesystems

Has anyone here been able to tell iTunes to use a network
share as the location for it's Library?

I tried to make this work to no avail last weekend using OSX
10.2.3 and a Samba share.  Absolutely no luck.  You could see
the mounted drive (where is the equivalent of /mnt under OSX?) when you browse for a Library location under Preferences,
and it could be selected but it does not recognize any media
in that location nor will it save media downloaded via iTunes
to that location.

In this case iTunes is used almost exclusively for Audible.com
books.  There are roughly 20 gigs of them now that we need
recognized and we have no desire to relocated them to the
local machine, nor do we want new material to be located on
the machine.

What a PITA...


Thanks,
/KRM
