Comment 7 for bug 353008

Yes, that looks like a bug to me. Can you set Verbosity=3 and re-run tracker-control -ts to make sure we capture what is happening on startup. To find out how to do this see:

The logs should indicate which directories we are trying to index. Generally the important ones are: IndexRecursiveDirectories, IndexSingleDirectories, IndexRemovableMedia and IndexOpticalDiscs. they all seem to be sensible here though.
