To my knowledge, sqeeuezeboxserver/scanner runs as a user
"squeezeboxserver" belonging to the "nogroup" group ;-)
Therefore indeed you must make sure all audio files can be read by this
user with these credentials.
I do the same, when adding data I mostly do a recursive "chmod" and
"chown" on my complete audio tree after transferring the files.
On WIndows 7, I'm pretty sure the Squeezeboxserver runs as a user with
a way to high security level ;-) and therefore it might not have a
problem accessing fresh copied files.
