Description Ian Ross 2008-05-22 11:13:19 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I keep my music on a NFS share in a directory in /mnt/Media, /home/username/Music symlinks to my music folder on the NFS share, but when I set rhyhmbox to watch /home/username/Music, it does not import any of the files, they appear in Import Errors:
"Couldn't access file:///home/ian/Music/Arctic%20Monkeys/Favourite%20Worst%20Nightmare/03-%20D%20is%20for%20Dangerous.mp3: File not found"

Not one song is imported. When I tell rhythmbox to watch the folder directly (i.e. /mnt/Media/Music/) it works fine.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Mount a NFS share with a folder that has music in.
2. Link /home/username/Music to the folder
3. Try to import songs in rhythmbox form /home/username/music


Actual results:
All the songs appear in Import Errors saying file not found

Expected results:
The songs added to the library

Does this happen every time?
Yes
