Thank you for the report!

I can reproduce it with the mirror that you mentioned in IRC:

mb scan muug

Tue Dec 1 18:52:12 2009 www.muug.mb.ca: starting
Tue Dec 1 18:52:17 2009 www.muug.mb.ca: total files before scan: 0

This is related to issue 11.

I agree with the suggestion, that it might be useful if the mirror is disabled when scanning
problems occur, especially if they persist. A good notification about the problem could be a
good replacement for automatic action, fully agreed.

On the other hand, it is also important to find out wether the scanner crashes for some
reason, because it would also be good if it continues its work. In the above case, the scan
via rsync ran into a timeout. There's not much to do though, and it wouldn't be useful if the
scan cannot be takes days either.
