Well, looks like I may have made the breakthrough.. I edited the playlist to change the path to the song to:
/share/flash/data/public/My Music/Metallica/Ride the Lightning/04 Fade to Black.mp3
And it worked.
Here is the log:

2007-06-25 14:00:03 (00000400): Scanned 3220 songs (was 3220) in 73 seconds
So I guess the question is now how do I create playlists without going through the hassle of editing itline by line….
