Unable to find media?

I've just installed the 4.4.2 demo twonkymedia server on a Centos 4.5 x86_64 linux box. The server starts just fine, though the Linux-HowTo.txt has NO mention of how to get to the server config page- I checked my "netstat -na" results to see that twonky was listening on port 9000

Anyhow, twonky runs, and looks like it's just fine, but I've pointed it at a couple of directories where I dropped some media files for testing (MP3s and a .wmv movie)- and it just doesn't seem to find them as media files.

I've validated permissions (set 755 on all the files), twonkymedia is running as root, I've turned on logging, but all I see in the logfile when I initiate a scan is:
14:03:29:110 SCAN:scanning /bkp/Music
14:03:29:110 SCAN:scanning /bkp/Movies

There's nothing showing whether it finds ANY files, whether it decides a file is a valid media file or anything. I've got about 100 MP3s in the Music directory, and I know they're solid MP3s (I ripped them from CD myself, they've been used with an archos Jukebox and with a turtlebeach audiotron).

So... what's my next step for troubleshooting this?

My goal is to serve media to my Xbox 360, so that will be next. I initially tried ushare, which worked immediately, but didn't appear to understand anything about MP3 tags... no album, artist info showed up. Now I'm trying twonkymedia, and it's not seeing the media files at all.

Do the files show up in the web based mediabroswer?

Have you configured the correct media types for the folders you are sharing (in the sharing page)?

Have you tried a full database rebuild, under troubleshooting?

I tried configuring the share for "all media", and for "Music only". I tried a full database rebuild. The shares show up, but still no files are found.
