They do not really have a dedicated page to this feature but here is a page that talks little about the shared client features and hot folders which accommodates synching.

Make sure you have the expand with wild cards checked on all the time with those path settings as they use wild cards.
The paths you have in there will also only work for the PC clients so you will need a mac path if any apple users want to access the proxies.
Look here for more info on proxies.

You can use the paste metadata command to apply metadata many to many. I have successfully done this with more than a thousand clips at once with CatDV. Here is an excerpt from the docs which should explain it in more detail.
Paste metadata
You can copy log notes and user defined field values from one clip to another using the Paste Metadata command.
First select the source clip(s) and copy them to the clipboard, then select the destination clips and choose Paste Metadata. You are then given the option of which fields to copy and whether to overwrite those fields in the destination or merge the new data in with any existing contents.
You can copy from one source clip to many destination clips, and the same value will be applied to each, or select two lists of the same size to copy from the first clip to the first clip, from the second to the second, and so on.

Not sure it has been mentioned here but the xml side car file name needs to include the parent file extension.
(file.mov) side car should be named (file.mov.xml)

No worries let us know how it goes as I imagine this is a desire bale workflow!

Just doing a quick search you can import XML with Movie recorder this may require a bit of massaging but should work in theory.
