Bug Description

Library watching seems broken in banshee:

When I move a folder containing sound files from one place on my hard disk to another, banshee does not detect that the files have moved, and fails playing them.

I can find no way of informing banshee about the change:
- selecting "Rescan Library" form the menu does not work (it ceases operation after a few seconds)
- deleting the album in question from banshee's database does not help: it is not detected at the new location afterwards

Banshee seems to assume that a file found on disk will forever stay in this location. This is completely wrong and will soon mess up the whole database. Please correct.
