Shouldn't make any difference. The scanner runs through a list of 
backends, storing file paths to a map with no checking for an existing 
entry at that name. The list of backends is stored in order of 
connection to the master backend, starting with the master backend 
itself. It pretty much guarantees that in such a configuration, the 
master backend would never own anything, and files would just keep 
cycling back and forth among the slaves currently active at the time of 
the scan.
