- Name is not the full path, just the folder's filename. If it is the root folder of a volume (ID_Parent IS NULL), then Name should not be included as part of the path; drive letters and such are set in Mappings. Name must always be non-null, so this value is filled with something meaningless like "." if it is a root folder. (Maybe we'll put the volume name in there later.)
- noScan is for blacklisting folders whose contents we really don't want to track, such as temp and trash areas which may become full of frequently-changing but useless clutter, or areas where things that aren't really files are kept (e.g. "/dev")
- FirstFound and LastFound may need to be NULL for root folders. It's not clear why this happens (perhaps they were manually created -- but the code should have time-stamped them -- but possibly this was just an oversight, and wouldn't happen with production code).
