My problem with browsing music folders would not completely go away
despite trying different setting on the server. Eventually, I started
to look at the code and here it was. In Perl module Info.pm there is a
simple test to see if a particular path is a directory or a file. Some
of my directories were not recognized as such, because I had a trailing
blank in the directory name and slimserver code was stripping all
trailing blanks from the path before the 'dir' check.

>>Bach, J.S. << is not the same as >>Bach, J.S.<<

Kind of obvious, but I could not see this until I noticed that
slimserver code drops all trailing blanks. On occasion I would have
trailing blank in a directory name as I create/or change them
manually.

I'm running 6.5.1 October 10 build.
