Using FileMaker's sharing works. Using operating system sharing facilities DOES NOT WORK RELIABLY and you will get corrupted files. Do not even have the files possibly visible to a client via sharing. In addition, FileMaker gets confused if it finds multiple versions of any file anywhere in the active directory tree, so be careful of how you do backups.
