[Windows] XBMC and SMB quick help with directories - ExGemini - 2010-12-12

I followed the basic instruction to create shares from Windows 7 simply sharing the whole directories.
It works like charm under Dharma but I've a very small question.

Is it possible to create a sort of "Container" directory and place all the share inside?

Example.
I've 7 directories shared.
I add them one by one to my XBMC sources and they all display correctly with corrent directory structures.
If I change the source.xml file and place all the shares under a single name <source>, everything shows but directory structure goes kaboom
<code>
<source>
<name>DataBase-Anime</name>
<path pathversion="1">smb://CHAOSENGINE/DataBase-Anime/</path>
<path pathversion="1">smb://CHAOSENGINE/DataBase-Cartoon/</path>
</code>

What I need instead is to have a sort of directory or main share and place them every single other share without compromising the directory structure, is that possible?

What do you mean by kaboom? screen shot me.

I use this method, 2 diff HDS same dir structure on both and adding both as one source works fine for me.
