I have a Lightroom Catalog that I want to put on a network drive so that my co-worker can work on it while I'm out. I tried moving the files and folders to the network drive from C:\Users\PJ\Pictures\Lightroom to a network drive. But it merely created shortcuts back to the C drive. Any ideas?
The catalog CANNOT be on a network drive. Your images can, but the catalog must be on a drive that is local to the computer. Some users try to put the catalog in Dropbox. But you must allow time for updates to complete. The Dropbox approach is prone to becoming corrupted rather easily. The better approach would be to put the catalog on an external hard drive that can be switched between computers.

That's awesome but why not just use iSCSI since you are on a QNAP? Or is this mainly for dealing with multiple editors to ensure access while catalogs are open do not cause corruption?

This is also a good reason for Adobe to prevent multiple users access to the same catalog.
