This is strange behaviour, indeed.

You can safely delete *all* "Folder" and "Media Type" categories from the XML 
file.

These two categories are created on-the-fly by KPhotoAlbum when reading the 
database. Normally, they should not be stored in the index.xml file at all.
What locale are you using?

Thanks - I'd be happy  to have more info so we can fix this ...
