Amarok 1.4.2 collection scan fails

[Florian Genauer]

Hi Jesse,

I already found your forum posting before, and I tried your workaround.

Unfortunatelly this trick did not work for me. I will now trie using a 
up-to-date SVN version - till now I only used the tar.gz I found on amarok 
homepage.

Many thanks to all for your help!

Cheers

Florian
