MiniDLNA not picking up new files

[Bigpapacherry]

I just installed Arch Linux ARM on a Pogoplug pink this weekend, and have had a pretty easy time setting up a number of apps thanks to these forums. However, I'm having an issue with minidlna and it's autoscanning feature. I can get the scanner to work after cleaning the cache, but once it does the initial scan, nothing else happens. I've tailed the log, and can see if scan to start. I'm guessing there's an issue with my config, so I've included my /etc/minidlna.conf below. I have no other issues watching or viewing files via minidlna.

Any ideas what could be happening? I'm pretty good with *nix, but have used it mostly professionally, so setting up "fun" apps are still new to me.

Edit: minidlna is set to run as root, in case that comes up.

MiniDLNA does have an issue that I've noticed when it comes to new files. If a file is moved in slowly, rather than instantly, it appears to be ignoring it likely because it's unable to identify what it is at that point in time. Because it uses inotify to get updates on changes (which sends notifications within a second), this is where I believe the issue to stem from.

What I mean by slowly is when it's copied over the network (sftp, smb, etc), or something like torrenting. I've noticed this behavior in both situations. What does work, however, is moving files in. For Linux, a move is instant, and thus MiniDLNA would see the entire file when it gets the signal that it came into its watched directory. In the case of using something like transmission, I have downloads go to a separate temporary directory while they're downloading, and when it's done they are moved into the main folder. It also works to transfer files somewhere else over the network, then move the whole lot in afterward.

I tried moving a file to a temp directory on the plug's hard drive, then into one of the scanned directories, but no luck. Is there a way to kick off a scan without having to rebuild the whole database? I wouldn't mind writing a script to kick off a new scan every so often.
