It depends on how you're sharing. If all machines use the same path, or
you do updates only on machines that use the localbase path, you're fine.
Otherwise you have a problem.

But that problem is pretty easily fixed by changing the scripts not to
hardcode localbase, but to get it from $0. (I'm always using constructions
such as "BASE=$(cd $(dirname $0)/../..; /bin/pwd)".
