OK, I tried setting up a completely new user account and got the exact
same results. No problem logging into the account but still when I try
to activate home sharing under the advanced menu the create home share
button still is dimmed. I seriously think something inside ITunes itself
is broken. Is there a means of reinstalling ITunes? I have done that
with third party apps but not Apple apps.

It might be a longshot, but have you tried setting up a test account and
logging into it? I think it has to be an admin so the guest account
won't do it. If this works, you will need to delete your itunes files
from your computer, not your content and reinstall itunes. I'm making
this rash proposal because I don't know which file is linked to the
sharing settings.

I am puzzled as well. I really can't think of anything else off the
top of my head. Have you made a call to Apple support?
