I thought I could use Windows sharing to get XBMC on ATV to see the USB Drive hanging off of my Airport Extreme. However, no luck getting it to show up. Anyone had any luck making this configuration to work? Will this work?

Xbmc doesn't support bonjour and afp.

Download File is..... ATV SMB XBMC 2.pdf
Works only with-in XBMC and does not need AFP/SMB working from Main Apple TV Menu. (SMB is built in XBMC)
