Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal
Rhythmbox 0.13.3

I've spent the last few hours today trying to get Rhythmbox to add my
music collection to my library. It's set up with the hard drive as the
Library Location in Edit --> Preferences --> Music and with 'Watch my
library for new files' ticked. It's my own fault, as I started Rhythmbox
without the HDD turned on, didn't think, and chose 'Import Errors' and
then "Remove', losing the whole library. I didn't mind, because when I
have loaded it before, it didn't take too long.

This time, however, I switched it on, checked the Rhythmbox settings and
waited. After nothing happening for a while, I selected 'Music -->
Import Folder...' and chosen the folder on the external HDD. If I choose
an album folder (with 10 songs on it) the indicator in the bottom right
hand corner has an orange segment going backwards and forwards, and says
'Importing (0/10)', but nothing seems to happen (yet, for a long time).
