Just to clarify, each folder has a fanart.jpg and a folder.jpg file for the fanart and poster for each film.

Are the art files for each movie named %moviename%_fanart.jpg and %moviename%_poster.jpg? Where %moviename% is the same as the movie file itself (which should follow XBMC naming conventions).
Also, have you specified your fanart in your .nfo's?

No, just a generic fanart.jpg and folder.jpg within the film subfolder. I haven't added it to the nfo either ... have you got a link to the line I need to add? I'll take a look to see what I can find...

just a thought but the 'id' tag in the nfo is empty - this points xbmc to a movie on the internet so it can scrape from it.
maybe fooling xbmc to point to a movie that exists on the net and using your custom nfo with fanart.jpg and poster .jpg may force it to use your artwork
I cant confirm this works as havent tried it but I remember having problems a long while ago with artwork not scraping from artwork downloader and this fixed it.
It may work for you

Why would his home movies be on an internet site?

They should be, but the entire tag is wrong anyway.
