Hi Paul,

I don't have Nepomuk running so I can't test but I was under the 
impression it only stored file data.

Check that you tags, ratings, comments and other metadata are being 
stored in your images. Trial one file then see if you can see the data 
in other applications - like Dolphin.

If you can't se your data it is not Nepomuk it is the fact that your 
metadata is not being saved to file. Check the settings for this in the 
"Digikams Preferences"

Once you established the file's metadata is being updated rerun the 
indexer for Nepomuk to see if they appear.
