Well, it turns out that the instructions for making a shared folder are faulty - apparently shared folders don't work well in the current version of SS. However you can do this instead: Fire up Disk Utility and make a .dmg file that is the size you want to use for "sharing". In the SheepShaver GUI window click the "Add..." button in the Volumes tab, and select the .dmg file you created, and Quit SheepShaver GUI. When you want to copy files from OS X to OS 9, mount your .dmg in OS X by double-clicking it, drag files into it, and then eject the mounted volume. Then, launch SheepShaver and when you get to the OS 9 desktop, you'll have another hard drive there, which is your .dmg file. You can do this in reverse as well to get things from OS 9 to OS X. The only caveat is that you get very unpredictable results if you attempt to keep the .dmg mounted in OS X at the same time as SS is running... files have been lost and the .dmg can get corrupted, so make sure you fully unmount the drive (imagine you're putting something on a floppy in one machine to carry to the next machine).
