MiniDLNA not finding any files

I'm a little bit lost on configuring the minidlna service on my FritzBox 3370. I've installed minidlna via opkg and enabled it with uci:

root@OpenWrt:~# uci show minidlna
minidlna.config=minidlna
minidlna.config.port='8200'
minidlna.config.interface='br-lan'
minidlna.config.friendly_name='OpenWrt DLNA Server'
minidlna.config.db_dir='/var/run/minidlna'
minidlna.config.inotify='1'
minidlna.config.enable_tivo='0'
minidlna.config.wide_links='0'
minidlna.config.strict_dlna='0'
minidlna.config.notify_interval='900'
minidlna.config.serial='12345678'
minidlna.config.model_number='1'
minidlna.config.root_container='.'
minidlna.config.album_art_names='Cover.jpg/cover.jpg/AlbumArtSmall.jpg/albumartsmall.jpg/AlbumArt.jpg/albumart.jpg/Album.jpg/album.jpg/Folder.jpg/folder.jpg/Thumb.jpg/thumb.jpg'
minidlna.config.enabled='1'
minidlna.config.uuid='0bb52163-8e6f-4c54-bcc5-0d203c81543e'
minidlna.config.media_dir='/mnt'
minidlna.config.user='minidlna'
minidlna.config.log_level='debug'

The USB drive i am using is formatted with ext4 (at first i tried with f2fs, but the got the idea that the inotify feature perhaps isn't working with f2fs). After rebooting the server is responding at port 8200, but it doesn't have any files in it's database. I also copied a jpeg for testing, although i'm primarly interested in minidlna for serving video files. Permissions on the USB drive seems to be OK:

root@OpenWrt:~# ll /mnt/sda1/
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root          4096 Sep 28 12:13 ./
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           296 Sep 28 11:38 ../
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       1513434 Sep 28 12:01 41405_Hinten.jpg
drwx------    2 root     root         16384 Sep 27 08:01 lost+found/
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     637110098 Sep 28 11:21 outputs.mkv

Although i've set the log_level config to debug, there is no output in /var/log/ from minidlna:

root@OpenWrt:~# ll /var/log/
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root            80 Sep 28 11:51 ./
drwxrwxrwt   14 root     root           380 Sep 28 11:51 ../
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Sep 28 11:51 lastlog
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Sep 28 11:51 wtmp

What am i doing wrong here?

OK, i got the last idea idea to remove and reinstall minidlna. And after that everything is running fine. Although i'm using the same config. That's strange.
