In other words, an album was at /a/b/c, and is now at /d/e/f.  Is there anyway to get Digikam to move the tags to the new location?

If /a/b/c and /d/e/f were seen in digikam as two albums, when you are inside digikam and move images between the two albums (directories), the tags will be preserved.

Another way is to tell digikam to store metadata inside the images. This way you can move them around without losing anything, but while it works OK for PNG and JPG images, I think it won't work for RAW files.
