Nah the minion folder shouldn't matter imo.
Hm, weird. Not sure what is wrong there. My log is only scanning the txt files of subfolders of the addons (e.g. AwesomeGuildStore\AwesomeGuildStore.txt) in the AddOns folder.
Do you have addons in this AddOns folder already? Maybe remove the whole folder and create a new AddOns folder, manually putting 1 or 2 adons in there -> See here how to do this:

And then try to let Minion find the folder again.
