Have you looked at the processes running on your machine to see if the scanner 
is actually running in the background but not reporting?

I found that the scanner process was fired off for me as a separate perl.exe 
process, and that process was not passed the same command line startup params 
(I run slimserver.pl --prefsdir "D:\Squeezebox Server\noweb-sqlite\Prefs" 
--logfile "D:\Squeezebox Server\noweb-sqlite\Logs\Log.txt").

As a result, it was writing to a log file in the folder specified by some 
registry item (C:\documents and settings\All Users\... I think).

The web UI didn't report that the scanner was running; it didn't indicate that 
it had completed, and therefore allowed other scans to be started.  I couldn't 
see any scanner log, or any scanner activity in the normal slimserver output 
log, so I assumed it wasn't running.  I first time I started up, it ran a scan, 
but then I went into settings and kicked off a scan...

Eventually I realised my HD light was flashing, so I gathered it was actually 
scanning, so I found the process in task manager.  I wait until the task 
disappears, and then restart Squeezebox Server and it finds the new library 
content (and then starts a new scan, as it does this at startup...).
