Here are the result:
18340 Duplicate ID
8 files failed to index in the Database.
Click the ‘View Log File’ button to find them
on the hard drive.
You may need to re-import bad CD tracks,
or fix the bad
original mp3+g, wma+g, zip, audio, video files.
This contains file information:
Error file: C:\MTU\KMA Files\MMVE20-1 (2).kma
Error file: C:\MTU\KMA Files\MMVE20-1.kma
Error file: C:\MTU\KMA Files\PS1275-4 (2).kma
Error file: C:\MTU\KMA Files\PS1275-4.kma
Error file: C:\MTU\KMA Files\SC3458-9 (2).kma
Error file: C:\MTU\KMA Files\SC3458-9 (3).kma
Error file: C:\MTU\KMA Files\SC3458-9.kma
Error file: C:\MTU\KMA Files\SC9014-6.kma

Again, when I attempt to merge the duplicate file it has stalled Hoster (not responding)

As beavis mentioned it can take a time to merge.
Is the 18340 the amount it indexed or the amount of duplicates ?

If you look at those 8 files they are all copies of one another except the last one, the figure in brackets at the end denotes it's a copy of the one without the brackets, the one SC3458-9 has 2 extra copies (2) & (3) if a lot of your files are like that you must be using lots of hard drive space. I should look in your kma folder and see if you have lots of these with the extra figure in brackets.

Anyway now that those kma files have merged do you think you are seeing all those 18340 files in your search dialog now, only you stated above you were amazed to only find 120 ?

When you import your files on your other computer do you import them as kma or kmh types ?

Is your other computer using version 5.10 ? if not what version is that using ?

Are the files in the folders that you excluded kma or kmh types ?

Do you still need to import the files in those two folders you excluded ?
