I think the problem with that is that you need the parse the date from
the other input for which you can use the utility function
$.datepicker.parseDate( format, value, settings )
I've tried the following and it sets the minDate properly:
beforeShow: function(input) {
var min = $("#startDate").val();
var format = $("#startDate").datepicker('option', 'dateFormat');
$(input).datepicker('option', 'minDate',
$.datepicker.parseDate(format, min));
}
