The OP did not say anything about Home Sharing.

He said "problem is accessing it from two locations at once"

and AFAIK has not yet clearly defined "accessing"

I never said that I think the RAID can't be part of the solution, but the 
OP wanted to move the library to the RAID for the purpose of sharing it 
with another client. With Home Sharing, that isn't necessary, so he no 
longer needs to move it to a RAID disk.

Indeed, but that wasn't the question as I read it.
