Hello Again,
I just had to reboot, and when I logged back in, Nepomuk just started on 
it's own, and scanned successfully for a few minutes.  I even checked one 
of the files that it claimed to have scanned, and I could view the metada 
in the right column of Dolphin.  So, let's see if things are continuing 
with that level of success...

A few minutes later it stopped :(  The metadata that I had seen a few 
minutes ago was still there.  So, that's good at least.  I'll leave my 
system inactive for a little while and see if Nepomuk starts scanning 
again. But, I have seen Nepomuk scan while the system is under load, so 
that SHOULDN'T make a difference...  We'll see.

Again, I am really interested in making this work, any help you can give me 
is greatly appreciated.
