you're right, perhaps there's another file that you have to move out of
the way.

If you've already run it, you would have to click the button 'Build
Collection' for it to scour your filesystem(s) - if you want to see the
button, click 'Context' on the left edge of the main window.

Perhaps I've confused it with Rhythmbox or GTKPod - I don't know but the
process is definitely there. I just went through it with Picasa (which
definitely scours) and a new, clean install of iTunes will definitely
scour your filesystems too.
