Yes you may want to consider a different approach instead of using remote desktop. You can have your desktop loaded with MP too and do the importing of movies/shows there. Edit the mediaportaldirs.xml on that PC to point to a shared database location. Edit the same file on the HTPC and again point to that same location. If you are not using a NAS for this, then use the HTPC to hold the databases and setup sharing so your desktop can access that location. If you store your moves/shows directly on the HTPC, again, just share that location on your network and you can move files around from your desktop. Here is some more info on the Central Database approach.
