First time sambas pinged i did the exact same thing you did Dexter, flew wildly all over the damn place spamming that _NPCScan target button till i discovered it was a dwarf questing with her sambas. She told me she tamed him a few days ago and she would use a diff pet so she didnt ping any scans-- the recent sambas was killed several hours previous

It wont do that unless you're in the area it spawns in.

Yea, Tal's right, for _NPCScan (ive never used SilverDragon), it will not alarm you if its in the wrong spawn zone (i.e: You are looking at Sambas in Org rather then Twilight Highlands)

But that could be false. You only see YOUR faction. You dont see the opposing faction and I bet there was a hunter on the other faction in the area.

It's possible that there's some funky phasing in the area, so you might need to fly out of that immediate area and back in in order to see him.

This could also be true as there was a few herbs that were playing that phasing trick on me....

Don't give up on it... I had a demoralizing false alarm yesterday I'll share with you... I woke up to get ready for work at 4 am and logged in game to do my daily routine rare search (has always been my theory to look in between 4 am and when I leave at 5:30.)
I flew around all the spawns and sambas wasn't up. so I parked my char at the area near the alliance camp. I am brushing my teeth when I hear NPC scan go off! I run to my computer toothbrush still in my mouth and see sambas found... I spent 2-3 mins flying around the spawn location spamming the target icon. I was thinking he was phased towards grim batol or something... I log out real fast clear cache log in again and NPC scan goes off again... I start looking again... and after couple mins mins of flying around like an idiot dripping toothpaste on my now dirty work uniform I /who and see another hunter is in the zone. I pst and ask if he tamed him. turns out he was a fishing bot phased with sambas out and ya. false alarm... I rage a bit in gchat and hearth to org to list ah stuff. as I'm logging out with 5 seconds left on log out screen my friend Kenny says in guild "dude that lion you want is up."
i log back in and ask if hes just messing with me and he invites me... i take the portal to twilight... and boom finally got my sambas after a 3 weeks of camping it daily! outside having to do an extra load of laundry yesterday was a good one! gl on your camp!

The NPC IDs that come with the addon (all the Bloody Rare, Frostbitten, and Cataclysm rares) should be specific to zone. You sure that you're up to date?

I've had _NPCScan go off when I flip through my stable pages, but only for Ghostcrawler. Silverdragon tested my sanity when I kept Barnabus trapped for four hours - it liked to go off every ten minutes or so. "HEY! HEY YOU FOUND BARNABUS! HEY!"

There was a hunter who set off my Sambas scan twice during my Karoma camp, so if it does something similar flip on your Track Humanoids and comb the area looking for both him and any hunters. Phasing can also be an issue, although I'm not sure if the Highlands are as bad about it as, say, Uldum*coughherbscough*. All rares should appear in all phases, but they can sometimes do a bit of a phase-warp and take a bit to show up.

The biggest thing is not to give up. You'll find him eventually. :)
