I suppose that's a possibility. Once the drive is accessed the delay
doesn't occur for a while so I'm pretty certain it's related to the
spin-down. If I request the share via Samba, and it does its 10-second
delay, once it responds she can then start the video and it starts right
away. I'll see if trying to access it via NFS just to ls takes longer than
Samba, if not I wonder if XBMC might just not handle the delay well.

Thanks for the suggestion.
