So far the only way I can get the Genius Update feature to work (without a timeout error) is to bypass my airport extreme router connect directly to the modem with an ethernet cable See: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12535045#12535045 Haven't tried the update feature after I removed the unmatched brackets. I'll let you know if doing that makes any difference for me. Previous submission was to correct a typo in the first post.

First construct a playlist of all songs having at least one ] (or right bracket) by searching your entire music library for ] (right brackets). In my case I have about 87K songs and 1300 had at least one right bracket. Then make a second playlist with all songs using at least one [ (left bracket). In my case there were 1294 songs with at least one [ (left bracket). So you see there were 6 songs with at least one right bracket but no left brackets. Then to find out what the offending songs are make a smart playlist of those songs in playlist #1 but not in playlist #2. Having done that I used the get info command for each of the six songs to correct the missing brackets. An easy way to check for unmatched brackets is to use smart playlists.

Easier than doing it manually from the filesystem And as a further update, the iTunes team recently e-mailed me back about this problem. They know about it and are working towards a fix. i dont know how likely that is but I've had no problems with iTunes Genius so far! Thanks dude, that’s great workaround!
