This probably means that rhythmbox is scanning your library for new
files on startup (which is separate from file monitoring), finding a
file not already in the library, and trying to import it.  Occasionally
we get hit by GStreamer problems that cause infinite loops, and it looks
like that might be the case here.

Can you try running rhythmbox -d to see if this is the case?  You'll
probably see a series of messages about 'executing
RHYTHMDB_ACTION_LOAD', the last of which will be the interesting one.
