I have been having a few problems here and there with the latest group
of builds, but I seemed to sort out my problems last night.  

Each new update for the past few weeks seemed to have been going great,
but then I decided to re-scan my music and got the 0 songs 0 albums
deal.  I had a couple of old builds that I considered more stable
saved, so I tried them and still no go.

I then for some reason decided to run Slimserver from the command line
as a normal user, and voila it started up fine and I was able to do a
complete scan that found all my music.  

Paying a bit more attention to detail I noticed Slimserver had made a
new slimserver.pref in my home directory, and had created a new folder
called "Cache" in my home directory.  Taking these two bits of info I
copied the slimserver.pref to /etc/slimserver/ and cleaned out the old
cache directory in /var/cache/slimserver, and then invoked slimserver
normally as root from /etc/init.d/ and everything seems to be peachy
keen since.

The biggest change I noticed in slimserver.pref was that mysqld seems
to be the default now, whereas previously I had manually created a
mysql database, username, and password for slimserver, now it seems I
don't need to do any of that, so I just deleted my old database.

So my points to try if you have problems are invoke slimserver to
create a new slimserver.pref (as normal user is what I did) and clean
out the old cache directory in /var/cache/slimserver.

I am running Debian/Sid
