Here's a procedure that should do what you want (using the Music library as an example).
1. Create a base folder on your hard drive for shares you want in a library i.e. c:\share
2. Create another folder in the above share. i.e. c:\share\music
3. Link an existing library to this folder. i.e Right-click on the Music library, select properties and choose "include a folder" Enter c:\share\music
4. Delete the folder i.e. c:\share\music
5. Use mklink in an elevated command prompt to make a symbolic link in c:\share that matches the original folder name. I.e. right-click on CMD and run it as administrator. Enter mklink /d c:\share\music \\NASNAME\music on the command line
