Hi,
To start I have a videoxml.xml file that contains all my movie info.
I imported the stuff into my library.
Looking at the VIDEO all my movies shows up in FILE mode.
It appears that I must SCAN FOR NEW CONTENT on the directory to get the MOVIE gui so that I can use the SEARCH option.
This is where it gets messed up!
When I do a SCAN, the info is being fetched from IMDB and my xml loaded into the video library is not being used! How do I tell that when I do the SCAN, XBMC should use my VIDEO library and not fetch anything from the internet!

Try putting the contents of Video_TS in the main folder.

What are you trying to do exactly?
Where did that "videoxml.xml" come from?

videoxml.xml is the complete xml of all my video's (Movies).
Some background!
Each of my movie folder has [moviename].nfo, [moviename].tbn, [moviename].jpg along with the video!
I went into file mode in video and created a source and pointed to my folder! I was "expecting" that the library would be built from my info in each folder (*.nfo, *.tbn etc btw i do have folder.jpg which identical to *.tbn in each folder)! But it did not! So I created a videoxml.xml which contains info of all my movies enclosed in <videodb> & </videodb> with each movie in <movie> & </movie>. I then IMPORTED this into the library! This was the genesis of my videoxml.xml! After importing all my videos info was perfect under the FILE mode view under VIDEOS!
The next step was to scan the folders for building the movie db! This is where I seem to have the problem. xbmc scraps imdb and builds my db eventhough I have selected "Use Folder Names For Lookup". BTW, this functionality seems to have broken! At least that is my conclusion!

This might be a language issue, but I still don't get what you are trying to do and why you are trying to do it. How did you create videoxml.xml ?
If you are importing an existing db export it looks to me that you are doing things the wrong way around.
If you have successfully imported a db export, there should be no need to rescan, since the data should be in the db.
And of course your files view looks ok, it would do so even if you had no library set up.
Did you at some time have a working video library, or are you trying to create one for the first time?

Quick question.....
Let us say I have created a source for my movies....and xbmc lists all the info from the library in FILE mode.
Now, to activate the LIBRARY, i do the following:
1. set content = MOVIE
2. scraper = IMDB
3. USE FOLDER NAMES FOR LOOKUP
Then do SCAN FOR NEW CONTENT.....if this is done and each of my folder has its own *.nfo, *.tbn and folder.jpg the LIBRARY is built using the info in each folder (rather than scraping IMDB) - Have I got it right?

Yes.
If you have each movie in it's own folder and the folder has are relevant name you use "USE FOLDER NAMES FOR LOOKUP".
You probably don't need it activated since you seem to have all the information contained in nfo files though.

I need to scan for the SEARCH functionality in the LIBRARY mode!
To toggle to LIBRARY mode xbmc forces me to SCAN FOR NEW CONTENT - There is simply no way to get around it!
If I SCAN FOR NEW CONTENT then the scraper ignores my folder *.nfo information!
Is this a bug? The previous version of XBMC worked fine!
