I hope you received the ogg I sent you. Anyway, I don't think gebi's
problem is related to polling because I bumped into a similar problem
(see my correspondence on this list), and there wasn't polling. I
regularly checked tracker.log and there's wasn't no polling taking
place. I've however recently increased the number of my directories
and noticed the polling thing, so I've experienced both problems.
