OK, that is an elegant solution in the current version of digikam.

I would like to suggest to the developers that they make digikam friendly to
people like us who mirror/synchronize their photo collections on different 
computers. For example:

1) Allow the user to manipulate the volumeid and the specific path fields
from within digikam itself (under "Settings" presumably), so we can "help" 
digikan to find our photos

2) Emit some kind of warning if the volumeid in the database can't be found
and even offer to change it to one of the existing volume ids.
