Yep the photos do lie!
"Just enough" mate! If you look at layer of grease you had covering on the outside of the rollers in the pic (assuming that you didn't pack all that other amount elsewhere - you probably followed Beevo's tute), I supoose you give that a twirl around a few times and that would spread nice and even and that's it mate!
Even if you had it packed full it just would be a bit "sticky" causing stiction but I don't reckon that's going to ruin the movement of the rotation at all as the servo motor has a lot of torque and the Superlube is not like treacle/molasses and become very very viscous and sticky over time - haven't seen this kind of grease doing it anyway before - I might be wrong and I'm sure if that's the case it'll be pointed out by others with more expertise that I!

I'm still going with the thin approach and see how that goes.
