I believe it uses inotify to get alerts from the kernel in realtime. Could you
get the output of "banshee --debug" please? And change a few files in your music
library (if LibraryWatcher detects it, it should say something).

Title:
  Library watcher doesnot add new files automatically

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  Fix Released
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and Banshee 1.6.1 The problem with this
  release (and all past releases) on my machine is that the Music Library does
  not get updated when I add files to my music folder. The folder in question is
  not on the root or home partition but on a separate fat32 partition (which i've properly set as the source). I don't
  think that should be a problem for the player but it doesn't update the
  Library. Not even upon restarting. I have to manually add the files which is
  very frustrating. If some one could help with this it would be much
  appreciated.
