My shared iPhotos don't show up on client computers

I am trying to share my photos with my wife. I have set the sharing preferencs and the name of my library shows up on her computer along with all of the album names. However, none of the phots show up, not even the white outlines. I get the same behavior when trying to share with another Mac. Sharing her photos with me works fine, so clearly the problem is on my end.

I've delted iPhoto preferences, restarted both computers, and purged the caches. I am about to rebuild my iPhoto library, but thought I might inquire here first.

Many thanks for any assistance.

Hey Guy!

I have an article here that I believe will provide you with some information to resolve this issue:

Mac Basics: File Sharing

Specifically, I think you just need to follow the step listed below:

Tip: If you need to assign the shared folder user or group account privileges to items contained in the shared folder, select "Apply to enclosed items" from the action pop-up menu. A confirmation sheet appears, click OK to complete the process.

It's also possible that this is a permissions issue within iPhoto. If this is the case, the issue can be resolved by following the steps in this article:
