Sync problem with photo library

Question

Hello,
I am not sure to post this question here, but since it happens with my apple tv i hope to be in the good section.
Most of the time when i start iTunes fresh and i want to sync my apple tv, which start at starting up iTunes, i get a error that it could not find the photo library.
When i go to the photo library tab i indeed see no events, or pictures at all. When i start up iPhoto and i look again, the problem is solved, but the worst thing is at has to resync my comleet photo library. This also happens with my iPod.
First i thought it was a update wich i was waiting for, but now, since the last 08 and 10.5 update and still no progress i hope somebody could help me out.
Thank you in advance
Edgar

That really sounds like ownership and/or permissions.
While everything is working properly, can you do a "Get Info" on the iPhoto Library in the Finder and write down what it says about ownership and permissions?
Then when it misbehaves, look again and see if it has changed?
Unfortunately, my library lives on a networked drive, so the ownership may be different. But in case it's useful, here's what mine says about the iPhoto Library folder:
Owner: system (read & write)
Group: wheel (read & write)
Others: (read & write)
Hmm, that got me thinking, so I purposely created a new library on my MacBook HD (note that I am running 10.4.11). Its permissions are:
Owner: {my username} (read & write)
Group: {my username} (no access)
Others: {blank} (no access)
