I've done it in testing. :-) How did it fail?

The way it works is you execute the radiant command in the bin dir of 
the install you want to share code with. So if I have one project 
running in application mode (i.e. it's fully extracted) in the project1 
dir and I want to create project2 which references the code in project1, 
I do it like this:

   % pwd
   /Workspaces

   % ls
   project1

   % project1/bin/radiant project2

   ... copies files to project2 ...

   % ls
   project1 project2

   % cat project2/config/instance.yml
   Radiant Root: /Workspaces/project1
