There is a "uniqueHash" field in the database (which is not 100% strong but 
identical for identical files) which digikam uses to see if it already knows a 
file. Now if you add new albums and these contain only files already in the 
database (by content), it will just copy the attributes including tags. That 
should work.  If not, file a bug. There is usually output on the console along 
the lines "Recognized xy as identical to yz".
