Thanks Stretch,

I disabled scan itunes xml, downloaded Firefly Client, and have used that it works great.

You can also download a program called iTunes Exporter which converts the playlists in the iTunes Library.xml file to individual m3u palylists that can be scanned into Firefly.

My particular problem lay in FreeNAS running from a 64MB+/- total RAM Drive. Firefly was scanning in the playlists under Library in the xml which essentially created a double scan of teh library and made the database very large. when FreeNAS used Firefly to serve teh library to iTunes the db was so big it filled up the remaining available RAM Drive space and crashed.

The above two methods solved this.
