I actually am doing this with my music, pictures, and video.  I mount
the M$ shares (winvideo, winpictures, and winmusic) at boot with
commands in rc.local through Samba, as was suggested earlier in this
thread.  They get mounted to directories in /mnt.  I then can symlink
to them.  I symlink mainly for videos, because when I rip a DVD, it
goes into the directory on the MythBox I specified for videos (/rip). 
At least in prior versions of MythTV, you could not define mulitple
locations for videos, so I just put a symlink in my movie directory
(/rip) to the proper /mnt samba share... and I got everything in on
the MythVideo menu.

I could also bind mount (mount -o bind ....) the M$ share into the
proper directory, but I'm lazy the way I have it set up now works fine
for me.

Works great.
