The windows version of XBMC has a user-agnostic "Portable Install" that puts all the configuration files in a neutral folder (in Program Files) that all windows accounts can access. The Mac version should have this also; Ideally the user should be able to define this location themselves so XBMC can also be put on an external HDD to be run on any Mac—but at the very least, there should be an option to install to a neutral, generally-accessible folder (like, for example, "/Library/Application Support/XBMC".)
Currently XBMC installs the library information in "~/Library/Application Support/XBMC", which only the originating user can access. =\
