Make sure you tell it to ignore your search indexes and other SharePoint areas!
See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952167
To be sure it is not hitting your index location, you can check where that is currently set by:
Central Admin -> Application Management -> Manage service applications
-> Search Service Application ->Search Application Topology (Modify)
-> IndexPartition/Query Component (Edit Properties).
Or via PowerShell, run the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell command:
$(Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance).CrawlComponents.Item(0).IndexLocation
