It finished (left it going unattended).  Not sure how long it took - couldn't 
find anything in the log to indicate when it had actually finished, but it did 
take a significant amount of time.  This will add to rescan times.

Detecting using (number of bytes): 10000
Detected: 35871
Checksum duplicates: 1405 duplicates  (Incorrect duplicates: 1325)
Duplicates: 80  

It actually highlighted a handfull of actual duplicates that I wasn't aware of 
(eg. where I have remix versions from old CD singles that are named differently 
but are actually the same thing).  

After I ignored duplicates that obviously weren't duplicates (eg. due to cue 
sheets - see below), there were actually only two false positives.  The 
checksum from the first 10,000 bytes matches, and the song length is identical, 
but the songs are certainly not the same.

Answer to this is that every track that comes from the same source file in a 
cue sheet is detected as a duplicate.  eg. in the duplicates log file, I have 
26 lines of:

71eb89d6770416109fca35e97cde57e8-34d5db7e M:\Music\Surround Sound\The 
Beatles\Love\Love.dts.flac


I have a single .mov file that SBS understands (and just plays the audio 
content).  This appears in the Duplicates log as:

NOCHECKSUM-NOSIZE M:\Music\Phil's Music\Progressive Rock\Thom 
Yorke\Other\Rabbit In Your Headlights.mov

I guess your code doesn't understand .mov files, but SBS can.
