I'm not a big metcrawler fan either.. I don't have any mp3s and when I pop in a card with video snippets or pictures I simply use the file manager, which is the logical way for me to do it. I can't really see why I would want a robot crawling over my cards at all. Hmm.. I see two immediate brute-force methods to prevent starting it.
1) as root do:
cd /usr/bin
mv metalayer-crawler metalayer-crawler.disabled
and reboot.
(to re-enable, simply rename to original name, then either do /etc/init.d/metalayer-crawler0 start (note spelling) or reboot)

This will work because the startup script tests for the existence of the executable and exits cleanly if not found.

2) Nah, 1) is better anyway.

Note that I haven't tried to run without metacrawler yet, so I don't know what kind of sideeffects this could create (e.g. is any other functionality depending critically on the metacrawler?)

If you want to remove the link rather than force the crawler to not run, use the command:

rm /home/user/MyDocs/root

Don't worry, this will only remove the symbolic link and not your whole root file system.

Will this in any manner affect canola / UKMP working? Are they using the same robot as the inbuilt player? (guess no because sometimes I find their database are not matching at the same moment)

Install a real file manager, like emelfm2 or GPE filemanager. Or do the symlink, but be sure to disable metalayer-crawler.
