run something like linux or windows in a vm or even locally on the host machine and just leave xbmc running in the background with the mysql configured advancedsettings.xml in the userdata folder then if all have the same file they will be linked and sync with each other through mysql then just run either a manual scrape or a scheduled scrape (i think there is an addon for this) it will perform that scan and then the other machine when turned on will auto update
I have not need for this myself as i have recently stopped using mysql as i no longer have more than one machine i need to have a shared database with i have just two HTPC's my one in my bedroom and another in a family member's bedroom and we watch different stuff and the stuff we do watch that is the same is usually at different times and not together so no need for making watched statuses and things synced up so we both have seperate local databases on our HTPC's which i have the xbmc backup addon schedule once month to backup to my server in networked folders so in case a machine crashes i can restore i probably should make backups more frequent but not too worried about losing the database i can always re-scrape and re-check watched items if worst comes to worst
