Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
The system is also showing the same video file multiple times in the orbiters and it seems to be getting worse. That is in addition to the files that were already added the folder.lock are still showing. How can I get them to go away?

The only way I could get the unresponsive light to do anything was to kill power to it. After I restored power I was able to use the inclusion remote to remove it and readd it. The light appeared to be readded just fine. A new light appeared in my device tree. However, it still is not responding to commands... All the other lights in the room, respond as expected, but that one does not. I've tried using both scenarios to operate the light as well as using the "Send Command to Device" pop up on the web interface. Neither produces any response from the light.
Another question, when adding in a multipole light, should I only include the master switch using the inclusion remote, or should the include also be done on the remote switches as well?
I think of I've done it both ways and both ways seemed to have worked, but now I am having issues and wondering if maybe I did something wrong...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007J26PIS/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Everything seemed to be going fine at first. But the more lights I add and the further I get away from the usb zwave controller the more issues I am having.
I now have one light that stopped responding completely. I tried to manually remove it and readd it to the network, but it didn't work with the inclusion remote. I then just deleted the device from the tree and then tried to readd it, still not working... The switch functions as expected, but all the zwave functionality does not work anymore.
I kind of want to start from scratch with a fresh linuxmce install and see if I could have some better luck. What is the best way of doing that? Do I need to go through with the inclusion remote and remove all the devices? Should I reset the zwave controller first? Can anyone help me with the order of operations for tearing down and rebuilding my zwave network?

Just to update you all,
I have made some progress with PXE booting the joggler. I found a program to reflashing the blank EEPROM of the jogglers network card and have now set a real mac address.
I will give further detail for you all to follow shortly but I can now using the instructions already posted for adding a bios and using an iPXE image to boot get to the announcing ourselves to the router, creating the media director and then boot the initial Kernel and then the full media director kernel that starts loading the beginnings of LinuxMCE.
However I then halt on errors regarding the gma500 having no valid LVDS backlight data, I believe this is to do with the intel graphics driver, there are also a number of patches available for the joggler to solve other issues such as this but for a different kernel version but as Ubuntu 12.04 is already available as an image to download these are freely available but I cant boot enough to install a different kernel or any of the patches, as soon as ssh comes up the error above halts the system in a few seconds after.
Is there a setting I can add to the boot line that will take me to just a very basic recovery console so I may install patches and graphics drivers?
Many thanks as always
