Automatically remove movies and tv shows from XBMC?

Is there any way to set up XBMC to automatically remove movies and tv shows from XBMC if the file does not exist anymore on my computer?

I know you can do it manually but I would like it to be done automatically so when ever I delete a movie or tv show on my computer it will also be removed from XBMC.

See the cleanonupdate setting in http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Advancedsettings.xml

Be careful though. It's common to set cleanonupdate and have XBMC update on startup, but if for any reason shares on a network server aren't available when XBMC starts it will conclude that no files exist and clean the lot.
