I scanned all of my movies into the library, nearly every one of them had an nfo file in the folder and all info was taken correctly. The couple that didnt have nfo files scrapped and loaded up the data appropriately. I then made nfo files in the folders that were missing them, changed genres around and refreshed the movie data. The movies now appear in the correct new genres from the nfo files but the genre listing still shows the old genres, just nothing in the list. for example, The Dark Knight scrapped and one of the genres listed was "crime". I changed this to only be "action", when i select the action genre the movie shows up, but there is still a listing for "crime" w/ nothing in it. I removed everything and reloaded and still the same empty genres in there. anyone help?

In order to nuke the entire library you'll have to delete the MyVideo3*.db (unsure about the current version) in userdata/databases/

That's right. I deleted my entire video library due to duplicate entries by removing the MyVideo3*.db file. Once done, you can rescrape your source drive and start new. Here is where you'll find the .db file (I'm running 4.2.1):
Apple-TV:~ root# cd /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Database
Apple-TV:/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Database root# ls
Addons.db CDDB/ MyMusic7.db MyPrograms6.db MyVideos34.db Textures.db ViewModes.db
