What does "but it never shows in the library" mean?
If, in the Library Config panel, you see under Music Sources a box with green check and the name you assigned your share (served from the host named in parentheses)---(EDIT) and you've updated the Library---then in the Library view under Folder you should see the folder "NAS". Clicking on "NAS" you should be taken to folder "<the share name you assigned>". You can drill down from there.
Example, I'm running an OpenMediaVault Server on a host named omv-hc1.local [an Odroid SBC but same principle as an RPi] with a public share named Music. I created a music source in moOde pointing to this share and gave it the name "OMV-Music".
In Library view, clicking on "NAS" gets me to "OMV-Music" and clicking on that gets me to the next level of folders, ad infinitum. EDIT: and all the albums/tracks show up in the Library Tag and Album views.
From the command line I can ask MPD its status as a quick check that it thinks I've got tracks available

Kent
