 Ah, yes.  This is why I'm doing a two-step process as I both move
 files around with my directory structure, and make changes to their
 EXIF content -- it's a pretty time-consuming business, but I can't
 see any better way (than what KPA does right now) to handle it.

 Rest assured, I'm pretty confident the changes I was seeing were
 being generated by my own scripts.  I'm being very watchful now
 for any subsequent changes, but I wouldn't be too worried.
