The clue is in the "Now performing cleanup" message in the log, which is where the plugin asks SqueezeCenter to look through the entire music database and see if any files have disappeared, and if so to remove them from the library.
This is, unfortunately, a feature of the way I've implemented it. SqueezeCenter doesn't have an easy way of just saying "check this directory to see if any files have been removed", and it doesn't seem to be possible for a normal plugin to initiate selecting scanning in a separate process in the same way that the normal scanner runs (this is why you'll get pauses in playback during this process). I have had other reports of this, though, and it's definitely a problem. I've an idea for a design change that would help, which I've documented in my ticket here: http://www.hickinbottom.com/autorescan/ticket/12 This has the advantage that the rescanning and cleanup would happen in a different process and so you shouldn't see any delays in playback, but the disadvantage that it's doing a complete "look for new and changed music" which means it'll take longer for your new music to show up in the SqueezeCenter database. What do you think of that change? Take a look at the ticket and see what you think. I'm pretty sure that the bug, if there is one, is in my plugin and not SqueezeCenter, though.
