Hello:
The main issue I see here is your not aware of what ties the .db file to the images.
The .db file is tied to ( The file path + Filename ) Namely, drive letter. So when you are backing them up you are in fact changing this.
Backups should be just that. Backups. Not hot in-use files.
You have a few options here.
-Share the .db file and the same PC images with same path.
-Embed the files on your PC with rating data, Then share, Then reread shared embeded images with mac mini.
-Embed the files on your PC with rating data, Then backup, Then reread Backup from mac mini. (I Wouldn't suggest this )
Note: On some OS's, how they use Slash. \ or / in path names. Might be an issue..
