Guessing here - Do you mean you share the iTunes folder on the host Mac over

Yes.
sounds like John meant he has the local iTunes using the remote iTunes
database ("library") as well, which means not just pointing the local
iTunes to the remote folder for tracks, but also tricking the local
iTunes into using the remote database; otherwise data which is not
stored in the track files won't be shared, and new tracks won't
automatically be added; i would much rather have separate databases with
iTunes able to write to the remote database
to answer Scott's question "Is there a reason this is not possible?", it
is possible but it presents some development challenges because writing
to the "host" database implies much more detailed messaging between the
machines and also handling of concurrent, possibly conflicting, changes
-- e.g. several users could compete to rate the same song
