Hmm normally it logs the filename but it will log "data" if the artwork is embedded and can't be accessed directly, but this shouldn't be the case with FLAC. Is your library 100% FLAC? You can enable artwork debug for more info. -- andyg --

Are you running SQLite or mysql as your database? On a windows box or ? Anything in the logfiles? It is still the general opinion that there are issues with mysql now that SQLite is the default database. AFAIK a full scan will start the scanner, and a "scan for new" will use the internal scanner
