That is what you have to do now as it stands unless you know the 
undocumented hand edits you can make to the db to add multiple roots to 
the same collection. With my suggestion each machine could have its own 
digikamrc file and hence allow having different paths to the root of 
each collection.

Without you telling us what your use is I cannot answer this.

Not a digikam root but a collection root. digikam allows you to have 
more than one collection.
