Is this even possible? Reading the guide, it seemed like it should work just fine, but in execution, it seems to fail

Here's an example

I've got a movie, Memories, which is 3 short stories, so I have it as 3 files in one folder labeled "Memories", which is mixed in with all of the other folders for my movies with single files. So instead of the normal movie.nfo with just a link to the IMDB page, I created 3 NFOs set to each of the 3 files names, and made it a set, like so:

Memories - 1 - Magnetic Rose 720p x264.mkv

Code:

<movie>
    <title>Memories Part 1: Magnetic Rose</title>
    <set>Memories</set>
    <sorttitle>Memories 1</sorttitle>
</movie>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113799/

Memories - 2 - Stink Bomb 720p x264.mkv

Code:

<movie>
    <title>Memories Part 2: Stink Bomb</title>
    <set>Memories</set>
    <sorttitle>Memories 2</sorttitle>
</movie>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113799/

Memories - 3 - Cannon Fodder 720p x264.mkv

Code:

<movie>
    <title>Memories Part 3: Cannon Fodder</title>
    <set>Memories</set>
    <sorttitle>Memories 3</sorttitle>
</movie>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113799/

When it was being scanned into the library, it totally passed over scrapping the movie information. It still put them in a set, just without thumbnails and all that fancy jazz the other stuff got. If I try to scan one of them manually, and ignore the local data, it'll scrape the data, but then pull it out of the set and put it as an individual item, leaving the other two still in the set

Why is this happening? Is the fact that they all have the same IMDB URL confusing everything? I thought this was the best way about going about it, because I don't want to rename any files, or deal with "stacking", that's why I created NFOs for everything I had. It seems like it's set up perfectly for stuff like this and miniseries. Speaking of which, I get the exact same issue for Tin Man, which is organized exactly like Memories:

Tin.Man.Part1.2007.720p.BluRay.DTS.x264

Code:

<movie>
    <title>Tin Man - Part 1</title>
    <set>Tin Man</set>
    <sorttitle>Tin 1</sorttitle>
</movie>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910812/

Tin.Man.Part2.2007.720p.BluRay.DTS.x264

Code:

<movie>
    <title>Tin Man - Part 2</title>
    <set>Tin Man</set>
    <sorttitle>Tin 2</sorttitle>
</movie>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910812/

Tin.Man.Part3.2007.720p.BluRay.DTS.x264

Code:

<movie>
    <title>Tin Man - Part 3</title>
    <set>Tin Man</set>
    <sorttitle>Tin 3</sorttitle>
</movie>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910812/

So, is there a way to fix this without renaming anything? Am I missing something in my NFO files? Or is there some XML I can alter? I do enjoy the files having their original names, with story titles, as it makes it easier to identify when I browse the network shares on a computer. The only thing I can think of that might work, which would be to make individual folders for each part, which seems silly, but I know it'd work as I've accidentally had the same IMDB as the URL when I did a Spider-Man set. I had 3 movies, but 2 of them pulled the same metadata

Thanks in advance for anyone reading/helping

What happens if you delete the IMDB-links from the nfo-files, remove the movies from XBMC and resync?

I'm seeing this and just figured out if you refresh the movie info so you have the thumbs and fanart, it moves it out of the set like you said. Remove it and update the library and it puts it back in the set with the thumbnails it scraped from the refresh! Now I am trying to figure out what to do with the nfos I have for sets that are now scraping as sets so I get double entries. I've only got a few nfos for a couple sets, so it's not a big deal for me. May not be the best answer if you have nfos for everything.
