OOOPS! Me stoopid. The missing files are not the problem at all, they are just a 
red herring.

I just moved all my files, and rhythmbox figured that all my files should be in 
their original location but were missing. So I cleared them out.

But what is giving me problems is an album of MP3s that doesn't appear anywhere 
after importing. I imported the directory containing several albums of MP3s and 
most of the albums appeared, but one didn't. The MP3s are not in the problems 
folder, and they're not in the missing folder either.
