Well, seems I was a bit too optimistically:

Yesterday I added a number of new albums to my library and performed the
usual "delete-and-rescan" procedure. The result is that LMS shows all
albums that had been there before but none of the newly added. I
re-checked if the files are really present within the music folder, also
re-checked permissions, and just to be on the safe side had the NAS
assign the present permissions to all subfolders and files within the
Multimedia folder (were the music folder is situated too). Rescanning
again did not change anything: Still all new albums are not present in
LMS.

I remember that after I had reinstalled LMS I had some problems to get
it scanning the library. If I get it right it worked after I changed
permissions for squeezeserver from "read & write" to "read only"
concerning Multimedia folder (and subfolders). I could not find any
logic in this but didn't try to get to the bottom as it apparently
worked that way. Obviously it doesn't quite, even though I hadn't
changed anything in between.

The strange thing is, that the "delete-and-rescan" procedure did not
wipe the library completely. If it is a problem of permissions or – as
Michael has assumed before – a plug-in blocking LMS to get access to the
files, it means that this time all "old" files can be accessed by LMS
whereas the "new" ones cannot.

Can anyone make some sense out of that?

Best regards
Stefan
