This is a really great looking add on! Will be trying it with my raspberry pi soon!

Hope to see this in the official repo!

While this addon does have great potential for people not running mysql type setups to still get some syncing between instances - please be careful when attempting to try this out.

If you check the git repo there has not been any development on this for 7-8 months. Since then a lot has changed in the xbmc core structure. You no longer need to sync thumbnail images between hosts, each xbmc instance keeps its own cache. The addon also has many hardcoded values - like the Textures9 database - that point to versions that are no longer in use. I'm sure with some cleanup work this could be gotten to work, but the fact that it is outdated a bit is probably why it isn't in the official repo right now.

You're correct. Once I saw that thumbnail syncing was to be part of the Frodo release I stopped working on this. It did what I needed it to do for Eden, but would be largely redundant for Frodo.I never did submit it to the repo.
If anyone wants to take it up, please feel free.
