Running the risk of being flamed for thread hi-jacking, I also have a similar issue. Following the advice I've found, I have renamed the .db3 file. When the issue occurred I was running an older MovPic version. Upgrading to 1.3.1 has not helped.
Everything was working fine, then I noticed that new movies were not appearing. Going to the plug-in config, I see the new movies are detected but the import stalls.
Going to the logs, I don't believe this is right:
23-Mar-2012 15:56:38 Fatal [    MovieImporter]: Unhandled error in MediaScanner. System.IO.IOException: The directory name is invalid.
I have always used a UNC path, but changed it to a mapped drive just in case.
I have always had the user account that connects to that drive denied write access to avoid accidental deletion of things.
I can access the path just fine, and run files from the path just fine.
The path points to a WHS2011 machine running StableBit for drive pooling - http://www.stablebit.com/
There has been an update to this app as it came out of Beta recently. I cannot confirm that the failure to import occurred at the same time as this.
I can copy a movie to different host and it can scan the folder and come back with a result, based on the share name rather than the file name.
I can create a new share on the WHS that is not on a pooled drive, and it also comes back with a result, again based on the share name.
We can see that being all wrong in here:
23-Mar-2012 16:25:45 Info [    MovieImporter]: Started watching '\\AM-WHS\Test' (Network) - Path is now being monitored for changes.
23-Mar-2012 16:25:46 Info [    FileSyncProcess]: File maintenance started in the background.
23-Mar-2012 16:25:46 Info [DatabaseMaintenanceM]: Checking for invalid file entries in the database.
23-Mar-2012 16:25:46 Info [DatabaseMaintenanceM]: 0 file entries were marked for removal by the importer.
23-Mar-2012 16:25:46 Info [    FileSyncProcess]: File maintenance finished. (0 seconds)
23-Mar-2012 16:25:57 Info [    MovieImporter]: Auto-approved 100 Girls.avi as "Test" (2000)
23-Mar-2012 16:25:57 Info [    MovieImporter]: Retrieving details for "Test"
23-Mar-2012 16:26:02 Info [    DatabaseManager]: Created user_movie_settings table.
23-Mar-2012 16:26:02 Info [    DatabaseManager]: Created source_movie_info table.
23-Mar-2012 16:26:02 Info [    MovieImporter]: Retrieving media information for: Test
23-Mar-2012 16:26:02 Info [    MovieImporter]: Added "Test" (2000).

So my conclusions:
The pooled drive stalls on the first file, regardless of what random file that ends up being. Usually it's 110 Girls, or 11:14
Non-pooled drives, and paths to standard Win7 PC's can be scanned, but they see the file name then ignore it in favor of the share name.
Reinstating my original DB3 just me access to what was there just fine. I can't get any new ones in though.

Apart from a full rebuild of the machine, what have I missed?
