One of my music folders contains albums for the band "...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead". However, as the folder begins with a '.' character, it was not added to the Subsonic library. Renaming the folder to "And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead" worked around the issue.
I understand that this probably a symptom of not adding hidden nix folders, but could be a subtle bug for those on Windows systems who don't know of nix file system conventions.

This bug can be fixed by removing the exclude code looking for any diretory that starts with '.'
