OK.  Now this is getting silly.  A few Minutes after my initial success 
this morning with Nepomuk, I added a new directory of music to what Nepomuk 
is scanning.  It successfully began scanning that directory.  
Unfortunately, Nepomuk must have started over Completely from the 
beginning, because the files that Had been successfully scanned a mere few 
minutes ago, now the metadata is gone/not viewable in dolphin.

So, for the benefit of anyone else that may having similar Nepomuk 
instability, or may have it in the future, I eagerly await your input on 
this, so that the fix for this particular Nepomuk madness will be publicly 
known :)
