Can't add files to library over network - xp and Win 7

I've installed foobar to a new win7 PC. Foobar on other Win XP PCs on the network can see my music files on the win7 box, and I can add them individually and play. But when I ask the library to add the mp3 directory over the network, instead of the normal 'indexing' I get a 'pending' notice -- and nothing happens.  The files reside on the win7 PC. How do I get my other installs of foobar to add them to the local library so I can create playlists, etc.  Thanks

Click either "OK" or "Apply" at the bottom of the Preferences dialog to get rid of the "pending" status.

Duh!  This must be different from previous versions, because I don't remember having to do it before.  I've been struggling to get my new win7 box to network correctly, and this was the last thing to do.  Many thanks.
