Itunes playlist integration comes up quite regularly and it does appear to be a bit of a dark art. If you can only see the playlists in an old version of Itunes.xml (and you're confident you've entered the right version of the .xml file in the Slimserver interface - do check!) then I would blow the Slimsever cache away and try to rebuild a fresh database.
I don't use Itunes so can't give a great deal of help beyond that, but from the FAQ and the Wiki: FAQ Wrote: > If you've moved your iTunes music files around, iTunes can export > incorrect information about the songs in its library. You'll need to > make sure that iTunes has the correct folder for your music library. > Visit the iTunes Preferences and click on Advanced.
