basically the solution is simple, just mount some partition
(or a directory with --bind) into both guests, and they
will have both access to it, using BME patches you can also
'mount --bind -o ro' into the samba guest

mount --bind /vservers/guestA/<dir> /vservers/guestB/<dir>
(make sure to do it _before_ you start the guests, or from
within the namespace of the second one)

so you are on a 2.4 kernel I assume ...
yes, you will very likely run into permission issues with
xid tagging enabled on the 'shared' directory, because new
files will be tagged by one guest and denied to the other
(an untagged partition would help here)
