"shared" how?

AFP?

SMB/CIFS? With mount.cifs?

Using NFS?

In general I'd recommend using a local directory for builds. Most
network file protocols have ... interesting ... behaviour when it comes
to file locking, timestamps, etc.

Why are you using this approach rather than just having local build trees?
