Tracker won't track

[Volker Wysk]

Hi

I'm trying to get the Gnome desktop search engine, Tracker, to do its work.
I've added my home directory and another directory to the paths which are
mined, but the number of files and directories, as reported by "tracker
status" didn't go up. Then I've done "tracker reset --hard", and now I'm
getting:

desktop ~ $ LANG=C tracker status
Currently indexed: 0 files, 0 folders
Remaining space on database partition: 352.8?GB (35.92%)
All data miners are idle, indexing complete

How can I start the miners? Why aren't they started automatically?? Logging
out of and in to Gnome doesn't help. Are there any tracker log files
somewhere? (I couldn't find any in /var/log).

I've removed '$HOME' from the index-single-directories setting, so it should
be mined recursively.

This are my Tracker-settings:
