New movies not appearing until manual scan - marcus2704 - 2010-10-30

I am using XBMC Bet3a 3 v34730. Everything is fine except for one issue, when I add new films into my \Movies directory, they do not appear in the My Movies view (they do appear in the file view) until I go to the Source settings and then 'scan for new content'. I have Automatically Update library selected, but it never seems to do that at startup.

How can I automate the addition of new movies?

My file structure is simply E:\Movies\moviename.extension. I used to put films into their own folders, but found little advantage to this as I find scraping is usually pretty reliable without the added directory layer.
