Hi,
the problem here is the regular expression you've used in the
process_exp option. It needs a perl regular expression, and not
a DOS-style "glob". Try using the following instead:

plugin UnknownPlug -process_exp "\.MOV$" -assoc_field "movie"

(The \ escapes the dot to mean a real dot, and the $ means
match at the end of the string). It is also case sensitive, so
will only match upper-case MOV. If this is a problem, try
"\.(MOV|mov)$" to get lower-case as well.

Hope this helps
