"service.watchdog: watching </home/vamp/>" It's because you have set this folder as a video source in xbmc. You really shouldn't do that. Xbmc continuously create and delete files from the .xbmc subfolder, that's probably why you see it continuously scanning.

Option to scan while playing music or video? Is the only option I'm missing. Works like a charm!!

What for? Scanning while plying a video will probably hog the disk and cause the playback to skip. And there will be a popup.

1. Ubuntu 8.04 requires polling?

You need Linux 2.6+ to use inotify. I don't know what ubuntu 8.04 have, but if your kernel doesn't support inotify then it will fallback to polling automatically.

2. Does delay represent seconds? I figured it would be useful to add a delay so that when deleting multiple items it doesnt refresh for each one. Is that sort of what its for?

Yes it's in seconds, but keeping it at 1 shouldn't be a problem. It wont refresh one time for each file if you delete them at the same time anyway.

3. If I dont check "clean up library" it doesnt seem to do anything. What should I expect without enabling that option?

If you don't check it, it wont remove videos from the library when the file is deleted. People who use removable drives and such need the option to turn this off.
