from looking at your photos, it appears that the roof itself is in fact seperate to your walls, which will make life alot easier when doing your roof project, i'd be willing to bet that if your went round and undid the bolts holding down the roof truss at each end of the shed (bolts as seen in the underside of the top-plate of the wall in photo #5 of your original post) that the roofing system would simply lift out, of course there would be more bolts/screws through the tin walls to hold this down, but it looks as though the main roof structure is only held down at each end, please correct me if i'm wrong.

the quick and dirty solution is to run an angle grinder around the tin walls at the height where the wall top-plate and the bottom of the roof truss meet, then the roof should be an entirely separate piece and can be removed. put your rollers onto that, make up some channel/tracks for your rollers to roll on, then have your roof slide any which way you desire. quick and dirty, like i said, but with the right planning it can be done properly, i'd also make the 'front' of the roof (assuming that it will slide 'back') removeable, so that your scope doesn't get in the way of rolling your roof.
