I did it this way because, as you alluded to in your instructions, the music on her computer was not all under the iTunes folder's hierarchy, but were in several different places on the machine, making it impossible to have the same relative locations on the shared drive.
I don't use iTunes to manage music location, including moving tracks, so I didn't mention this. All my music is under one main folder, but it's not the "iTunes hierarchy."
The important thing is that iTunes knows where all the music is in the end, so it would also have been fine to manually copy the music to where you wanted it and then just drop it all back into iTunes. The way you did it however has the advantage of preserving any track stats and also preventing any duplicates which might then need to be pruned.
Now you might read otherwise on the net, but you can't have a Mac share that same iTunes library (the library file and DB itself, not the music).
