First make a database backup:
Make sure your remote shares are on and accessible. Then go into settings/video/library and clean the library. That should clean the library of any files that no longer exist. If you have a remote share off when you do a "clean" it will remove those items as well as it sees them as missing. At this point export your database as a single file. Now you have a backup and can commence with starting fresh.
Start fresh:
Clear any meta data files such as .nfo files from within the various items folders. Go to video in file mode and find your remote source that has your movies. Choose the context menu/set content. Now set the content as none. It should ask if you want to remove from the library. Say yes. now reset the content back to movies or TV which ever it is and re-do your settings as needed. Now re-scan. As long as there are no errant .nfo files laying around things should go smoothly. In my experience it has always been incompatible .nfo files, improper content settings or a whacked file naming structure that produces bad scans from within XBMC.
