We need both ~/.config/tracker/tracker-miner-fs.cfg and ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs files in order to know what's wrong. Full logs are also appreciated, since they often contain much more info than what a single line can provide.
Comment 2 Deji Akingunola 2010-06-18 14:03:50 UTC 
From the original reporter; "The errors go away if I increase the number of possible inotify watches, so I think it's simply that I have too many directories."

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
