latest version of XBMC for Mac is v11, not 10.1
In any case, there are a few ways to do this. Easiest would be to just use file sharing on the iMac so that the ATV2 can pick it up without having to run XBMC all the time on the iMac. Grab yourself a copy of NFS Manager (
http://www.bresink.com/osx/143439/download.php5 ) and use that to share the files to the ATV2.
Alternatively, set up everything on the iMac's XBMC and then share the library using UPnP to the ATV2. This requires the iMac's copy of XBMC to be on for the ATV2 to see the library.
Be sure to check out the
Mac OS FAQ (wiki) and the
iOS FAQ (wiki), as well as the general
XBMC all platforms FAQ (wiki). Some stuff isn't well documented on the wiki, like the UPnP set up, so feel free to ask if you have any questions on any of this.
