I got a chance to try this further again over the weekend - still no 
luck.  I also tried just putting the videos in the preconfigured 
directory rather than my own one, but still had the same results - ie 
visible on the MBE frontend, but not remote ones - and when going in to 
the remote ones and rescanning, I see the 'Removing File SG(servername) 
"filename"' message for each of the videos.

Any ideas where to start debugging?

Thanks,
James.
