No library refresh

Hi... I need a bit of help. Am running Serviio on an XP-SP3 system with a Panasonic Viera THL37-DT30A via a wireless link courtesy a Netcomm router; with it I have used 062, 101 and now 11 as you can see from the current log.
My problem is with all those versions and that telly : I simply cannot get serviio to load new files into its library - I can achieve it only by uninstalling/reinstalling, or as you can see, by updating [this seems to force a total library reload.
The current log shows the action from a fresh installation of 062, then upgrades through 101 to 11. The first library load shows a stall at one file, the 101 upgrade read the folders fully.
I have edited out what I consider to be uninteresting blocks of loading lines.
I should add that I don't now allow [modified before the last start of 11] Serviio service to start automatically with windows, it is set to Manual, and a NET START line is in the Startup batch file:

@ ECHO OFF
e:
cd \program files\serviio\bin
NET START serviio
CALL serviio.bat
SLEEP 2
CALL serviio-console.bat
EXIT

...which works just fine.
The above is of course, not a detailed log. I can make one if desired. You can see that I have tried a few manual Force Refreshes. Auto is set to default 5mins - it does not work.
Ideas would be welcome. Thank you.
I do appreciate this program.

not sure about the cause, but I would try this.

1. uninstall serviio
2. delete out the C:\program files\serviio\ folder
3. re install serviio 1.1

A clean install might help resolve the issue

Thank you for replying, slyguy, but it does not help. I've been using Servio for several months now, tried all sorts of approaches to no effect. Except the drive of the folder.... surely being installed in e: and not c: would not affect it?

Ah. Everyone be at peace... it was operator error. I rather knew the program had to be working, that I had too obvious a problem. It arose from my misunderstanding of the options available on the Library tab, notably the interaction between the Scan for file Additions and Updates checkboxes for sources, the Search for Updates of currently shared Files checkbox, and the Library Automatic Update checkbox. It appears the latter two are over-arching, the first subordinate and direct the actions of the latter two by source.
Got it. Now. I had thought the Scan for Updates checkboxes for each source were for online content. Silly me. I now use Force Refresh option because I don't make that many changes to content, it being all personal stuff, no online data, but I saw the automatic library update feaure working before the change.
I also know now that one must save changes on each tab, not one save at the end of all tab modifications. That explains why sometimes previously a couple of changes I had made had not taken.
All is working just fine. Stop laughing.
I'm happy. Thanks.

Having set the Serviio service start type to Manual [because i don't use Serviio every day...] I found that modifying the startup.bat file slightly made starting of the service completely reliable:

@ ECHO OFF
e:
cd \program files\serviio\bin
NET START serviio
SLEEP 2
CALL serviio.bat
SLEEP 2
CALL serviio-console.bat
EXIT

-including SLEEP 2 after the NET START [or SC START] Serviio cmd works for me; without SLEEP 2 sometimes the service would start and stop immediately; nevertheless,it would be reported in the console as started when it had already stopped.
