Yes, the corrupt file is probably in those folders, try removing those two folders by using the "Exclude Folder" button in the rebuild database then run the rebuild database with those 2 folders absent, if that rebuilds alright then the problem is definitely in those folders.
What I would try to narrow it down is to split the contents of the bad folders to try and narrow down were the problem file.
Example copy half the contents of a folder to a tempory folder then see if the remaining folder will add to the rebuild list without erroring out. If it errors still you can be pretty sure the corrupt file is in that part of the folder, you might get a clue if you note how many files it processes before it fails. It that part completes alright then the problem is in the rest of the files that you placed in the tempory folder so you could again split this folder into smaller sections again and then add each smaller part to to folders list.
Once you do find the culprit and remove it you can either leave them all in their seperate folders or use " Ecluded folders button" again to remove the tempory folder then move all the files back to the original folder then rescan the that folder again or when you finish rebuild the database.
