I'd like to see the same feature. Where XBMC will monitor it's library folders and compensate for changes in the files every so often, both adds and deletes.

for now, I created a keymap.XML and assign the rescan function to one of my mce remote buttons ... it's not exactly what i'm hoping to achieve but this is a work around I think I can live with

rwparris2 created a python script to do just that.
Hunt around in this forum to find it.

or you could turn on the event server, install xbmc-eventclients-xbmc-send from the ppa and add the following line to your crontab with "crontab -e":
0 * * * * xbmc-send --action="XBMC.updatelibrary(video)"
your library will then update on the hour every hour
i use this along with cleanonupdate in advancedsettings.xml and it works a treat

I added a feature to mythicalLibrarian to update the library, clean out the old junk that was deleted and send a UI notification
