The log is misleading. The states are like a state machine, they don't 
have to follow one state routine only once. This Index/Optimizing/Idle 
dance is usually what happens when we index odd files from monitor 
update events OR if we index things so quickly in the indexer that we 
return to an idle state before the next batch of files is sent from 
trackerd->tracker-indexer. This is a design flaw really and this whole 
scenario is greatly improved in 0.7.

Folder should be found. How are you searching? Does tracker-search show it?
