Are the files gone or just don't show up in Hoster after rebuild?

Are all the files in one folder or multiple folders?

Any error messages after rebuilding?

Freddy, that was where I was headed with this. I wanted to know if Hoster had reported any duplicate BookIDs. There are log files in the Hoster folder that may be of some help in figuring out which IDs got changed. That way you can check your books to make sure they are right. Glad you got it fixed.
