I saw the issue when I had digikam open and processing pictures in the BQM. 
The processed files appeared in the destination folder. Yet as soon as I 
started to delete/move some files (in other picture folders) with dolphin the 
view in digikam did not show the new pictures but I had to press F5 and reload 
frequently or restart digikam.

It might have also happened if I changed the date of an album but  I'll have 
to try that again.
