TV Scraping errors or wrong settings?

Hi there and let me say sorry for the lengthy post beforehand.

I have a problem with scraping tv shows. It either returns the wrong number of shows or it includes the sample directory in the scrape results.

I´m running MC version 2.291.

My directory setup is like this:
SERIES\Series name\Season ##\Standard "scene" folder naming(Lie.to.Me.S01E01.HDTV.XviD-2HD for instance).

7 of the 11 shows have a subfolder called Sample. When trying to scrape the show lie to me, MC is saying scraping X of 18 shows in the bottom statusbar, although i only have 11 in my list.

Heres the config.xml

Heres the scrape log:

Scrape log

So as you can see it scans episode 1-7 twice which is the ones that have a sample folder in them, and all the sample .avi files has the word "sample" somewhere in the filename, which should be ignored according to billyad:s post here: https://billyad2000.darkbb.com/xbmc-media-companion-help-and-useage-f5/a-basic-how-to-t393.htm

Quote :: In addition to all of the above, Files with "sample" or "trailer" in the filename are ignored.

But here comes another confusing part, episode 1 and 2 was scraped twice, but appear 4 times in the list, episodes 3-7 appear twice as expected(scraped twice) and 8 showing once and then 9 appears twice and then 10 and 11 are back to showing once.

TV Scraping errors or wrong settings? Mc110
