I have a bit of an issue with my setup that I can't seem to resolve. I was able to add networked folders from my main PC to my XBMC but now they will not seem to update. I have tried enabling update on startup and manually updating the folders, but no luck. I am using the backrow skin and I am wondering if it is somehow hiding an option I need to access in order to make this work?
Thanks for all your help, I did many searches trying to resolve this but was not able to find a solution.

After you added the folders did you set the content type?

In XBMC. After you add a source folder look down in the OSD menu. You should see the option for setting the content.

I got home today and tried everything I could, the folders content was already set to movies. I tried removing the folders and then adding them again, but they still only had the movies in them that they had originally. I went through and made sure I had shared the folders correctly through SMB and that all looked good. I am sure I am missing something ridiculously simple, but I am just stumped.
I should also add that XBMC is able to scrape the folders and get the information for the movies that were there originally. I have also tried deleting the network location and then adding it from the SMB option in the add video's menu. I tried to delete the entire SMB section but it wouldn't let me (right click didn't do anything)

From looking thru the log it seems like you have some strangely named folders. For example "XVID.MIC.AC3-5.1.HQ.Hive-CM8 - Copy" In your content settings, do you have "Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title selected?". Also why is this folder being scanned for videos "smb://ALEX-PC/Utorrent Downloads/Complete Fonts - Honest/"?

When I saw that, I figured it must be a fellow designer. Either that or a font nut.
You need to uncheck that option in the content settings if the folders are not truly named the exact title of the movie. And then something in the filename needs to be the exact name of the movie.

Can you post a sample of your directory structure and show what has changed and not scanned?
If you have scan recursively on in the content settings, it will scan folders within the main folder you set. You need this on if you have folders within folders.
