Hello Ms. Aime,
I am now able to successfully reference the shape files in geoserver
without copying such files to geoserver's data directory using the patch
downloaded: the configuration used is as follows:
[gr...@~/geoserver-2.0.2]$ curl -u admin:geoserver -v -XPUT -H
'Content-type: text/plain' -d 'file:/home/grass/shapefiles/test3.shp'
http://localhost:9090/geoserver/rest/workspaces/icens/datastores/test3/external.shp?configure=first
* About to connect() to localhost port 9090 (#0)
* Trying 127.0.0.1... connected
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 9090 (#0)
* Server auth using Basic with user 'admin'

What I noticed, however, was that two datastores with the same name were
created in our case test3 and also for the connection parameters these are
not loaded as in the case of the referencing geotiff's outside of
geoserver's data directory. Also if I delete one of the datastore then the
layer for that store is also deleted and I'm unable to see a preview of the
shape file.
