The only thing I'm concerned about is what people have used for share names. If the share name doesn't contain filesystem friendly characters then I'll need to use some sort of munging routine to clean it up. I think its a fairly standard practice to have this be the same as the include dir (ie /, /home, etc.) and I'll need to take out all '/'s and any other meta-character. Not a big deal, but its stuff like this that can make creating a wide distribution app difficult.
