Thomas,

I think I see what you are getting at, instead of having the files in your XBMC "TV Show" being Symlinks back to your SIckbeard Download directory you want it the other way around. That way you can easily delete the files in your Download Directory without also deleting the files in your TV Show directory (since if you delete the actual file you break the symlink and have a orphaned file).

I ran in to the same type of issue in my own setup and ended up changing from Symlink to Hard Link:

A hard link is two separate files linked to the same inode, this way we save disk space and can delete either file.

If this sounds like what you are looking for I can post my changes to use Hard link rather than Symlink.
