On my media server I have a local drive with all of my files in it.  I have then mapped a network drive on this machine, and all other machines on my network, pointing to this drive.  The local drive is F: and the mapped drive is X:.  I do this as I have moved the location of this storage a couple of times over the years and don't want to remap everything.  I point MC at X: and it imports the directory fine.  I have the default location for music set to X: as well.  However, no matter what I do (presumably under the auto-import) it keeps creating duplicates in the library for F:.  I can find no reference in the Import or settings to tell it to look in F: but it does it anyway.  Is it doing this because X: is a logical map and F: is a physical map?  Thanks.

I have the same problem:

original mapping was to M:\ then Z:\ and now to \\smartstore\musique\

Sometimes I renamed everything \\Smartstore\musique\ then \\smartstore\musique\ abd now I have duplicates in

\\Smartstore\musique\
\\smartstore\musique\ AND
Z:\

Any idea on how to clear this "mess" ??

Maybe Windows is playing tricks on you. Instead of making a shared drive from a local resource, you could try and do a 'SUBST' (substitute) command instead.
Open a CMD.EXE window and run the command 'subst w: c:\temp'
In the Explorer you now got an w:-drive showing the files in c:\temp. You could do the same with your shared music folder and the x:-driveletter. This will work on the computer with the files stored on its discs. If you choose to use this workaround, the command should run every time you log on.

Why do you use unc-names (network names) if you made a network connection to it ? I would disconnect the z:-drive to check if the problem persists.
