Episodes named "Sample".ext Problem - Kewlkat007 - 2013-03-13
I have two TV episodes of these shows. Both called Sample.avi but XBMC does not scan them into my library..
Is there a reason?

because it ignores "sample"

No way for the scraper to know what season or episode this file refers to based on the file name. And, if Sample.avi isn't located within a folder named after an actual TV series, there's no way for the scraper to even know what show this file refers to.
See here for proper folder/file naming and organization to ensure TV shows and episodes get added to the library: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Video_library/Naming_files/TV_shows

Sorry I forgot to mention the shows are properly named. I have over 900 individual shows just strange.

One of the episodes is from the show "Delocated" and the file is names "Delocated - 3x06 - Sample.avi" but XBMC skips it in the library.

It ignores any file name with the string sample in it. Change the name to "Delocated - 3x06.avi" and it should work.

As Martijn already mentioned twice, lose the "Sample" in your file name:
Code:
Delocated - 3x06.avinickr beat me to it!
