Hi, First, the Copy that you're finding in the Contextual menu is just a Copy/Paste sort of thing so it will not do what you're hoping. Check on both machines that you have Home Sharing turned on. Home Sharing is under the Advanced menu. Home Sharing is different than the Sharing you see in your iTunes Preferences. Once Home Sharing is on for both machines, when you select the other machine, there will be both a Settings button and a Copy Items button as well as a pop-up that can restrict what is shown. I would actually make sure that the Sharing Library thing in your iTunes Prefs is unchecked as it is unnecessary when using Home Sharing.
HTH. Later...
