XMBC and MySQL

[rbthompsonv]

Not sure if I should be posting this here... but having MAJOR difficulties getting my Xbian driven Raspberry Pis to sync with my SQL server... This is my setup:
Office Dell Optiplex running Ubuntu 12.04, 1 250gb hhd running the OS, 2x2tb hard drives in raid put together with LVM and sharing 2 folders: TV and Movies... The videos are ported into XBMC as SMB://192.168.1.101/Movies (or TV)...
Server is running XBMC at all times, and I essentially coped and pasted the advancedsettings.xml from the wiki... changing the IP to 192.168.1.101 (The IP of my server)

I put the same exact xml on each raspberry pi under .xbmc/userdata

The RPis see the shared folders and I link to them via SMB://192.168.1.101/Movies/ and SMB://192.168.1.101/TV/ (Named Movies and TV Shows respectively on each RPi)

1 Rpi and the Server are wired connections, 1 RPi is wireless (My mac is also running XBMC and shared with the same structure... with no joy)

Set up the MySQL server as per the wiki instructions...

How can I troubleshoot this situation, or what do I look for? What other info can I supply?
