Hi Hugh, Do a search on your computer for any "iPhoto Library" folders. What most likely happened was that when you used the third user account a new library was created. That is why you can't find the photos from the "shared" library.
I am not sure what the best tools for this would be. I am guessing Spotlight will only search the currently logged on users files and would not find any files belonging to other users so it might not be the best. If you have root enabled you could use the locate command, if you comfortable with Terminal.
