I ran into this problem a few weeks ago. I have a mapped drive set up for a SMB share to my file server. XBMC points to two folders in that drive -- Movies and a TV Shows. Tonight I added another folder within TV Shows containing a show, one that exists in thetvdb.com. Said folder and media within shows up fine when just browsing through Videos and not through the library. However when I do an update it isn't picked up and added to the library.
Last time this happened (didn't pick up two new movies and 3 seasons of 1 TV show) I ended up deleting the database then re-adding the sources, and with a re-scan it all worked (after a long wait of re-downloading everything). I didn't have to change anything with the media files, deleting the library was all it took (checked permissions and all that stuff before hand, wasn't that).
I've checked the logs for XBMC and I see the scan kick off and completes with no errors. I'd like to avoid having to delete and re-add sources again. Any idea what would cause it to now see the new folder when scanning?
