Now I didn't first delete XBMC and subfolders...just overwrote with the newest version. At one point I did go from a March build to a February build. Would a complete wipe of the xbmc folder be in order? I think that's what I'll start with next.Theres the problem always delete all except for your userdata folder unless you have not updated in over a year as like cranial has said there was a change in the way xbmc handles the library. but i am sure you will get it working
Thanks for all the help guys!

Here is my method to do a safe update of XBMC:
1. Install new version of XBMC in a NEW folder (ex: XBMC 2904 istead of XBMC)
2. COPY your userdata folder from XBMC to XBMC 2904 (if you suspect any problem with your personal settings, don't copy this folder and reconfigure manually + rescan library)
3. Copy scripts folder and plugin folder from XBMC to XBMC 2904
4. test everything you want by manualy starting default.xbe in XBMC 2904 folder
5. If everything is working correctly, you just have to rename XBMC folder to XBMC Old and XBMC 2904 to XBMC.
5a. You will not be allowed to rename XBMC folder while in XBMC => you need to launch an other dash and rename from there.
Hope this is clear and will help you.
