Hi, sorry for opening up an old thread but I appear to have the same problem and I can’t seem to find the build that resolved it.
I was using the build that came with the Ubuntu repositories but they weren’t working. The latest build on the nightlies appears to be mt-daapd_0.9-svn-1586_feisty_i386.deb which I downloaded and installed but it didn’t have any effect.
I’m serving from Ubuntu Feisty and using Rhythmbox on another Ubuntu Feisty on a home lan. I opened up ports 5353 and 3689 in the firewall and dropped both firewalls completely to no effect. Rhythmbox refuses to show the share.

Could someone advise me where I can find the build that resolved the problem of the OP or alternatively how I can progress from here.
Thanks
