It looks nicotine no longer builds my library from an external HDD, though the directory is listed in My shares.

I found the problem: after updating to Ubuntu 10.4 it has crated a dir called My Studio_ and locked My Studio dir. Nicotine was trying to access My Studio which was locked.

Thanks for the report and the follow-up, I'll look into it next week to see if it's something we can improve (continue scanning on errors perhaps)

i wrote chmod 777 /directory and I fixed the problem
