Trouble seeing all photos from External Libraries

I have a a folder mounted into the immich container on my raspberry pi. Previously, Immich could detect new images that were added to the external library even in a nested path. Currently, the images after
25-10-17
25-10-17
are not detected by immich. However, they are also mounted into the container and running
ls -l /mnt/nextcloud/Photos/iPhone/2025/10/
ls -l /mnt/nextcloud/Photos/iPhone/2025/10/
does indeed show the images themselves in the container and I can
head
head
the file and successfully read the files.

When I made an additional External Library targetting just that folder, all the images were properly ingested and showed up on the timeline. Using the Explorer on the Immich webpage, I do not see the files after
25-10-17
25-10-17
.

I've reingested the photos by re-running the (1) Sidecar Metadata, (2) Extract Metadata and (3) External Libaries jobs but to no avail. I did change where the external library pointed to
/mnt/nextcloud/Documents/
/mnt/nextcloud/Documents/
and then back to
/mnt/nextcloud/Photos
/mnt/nextcloud/Photos
but I have the same issue about not being able to see images newer than
2025-10-17
2025-10-17
.

When looking at the Logs, I do see that Immich does detect and process the files but it doesn't appear to end up on the webpage for whatever reason. Log excerpt presented in next message.

Immich version: v2.1.0.
