Strange iTunes Behavior

Sorry for the cross post, but this was not getting any traction over at the iPad thread.

Here is my situation:

I am running iTunes 9.1.1 on a new MacBook Pro. My library is located on a remote network "server," aka, my Mac Mini. I use Chicken of the VNC to remotely access my Mac Mini and quit iTunes so I do not think that it is a shared thing.

Here is the issue. My apps folder is not updating. It says there are 5 apps that need to be updated, but they will not update. Additionally, everything that I have purchased/downloaded on the iPad/iPhone says it is transferring during sync, but never shows up in the list nor does it show in the Mobile Applications folder.

Is this a corrupted library? I have closed and opened the library a number of times, as well as rebooting the remote "server" which is my Mac Mini.

Thanks in advance!

I did not figure it out but I fixed it. I moved everything to a new folder. Basically, I renamed the folder to iTunes_old, created a new folder called iTunes, and then copied all the files from the iTunes_old folder to the new iTunes folder.
