@Evert Vorster: I hope you don't mind if I paste your email here, but it's best
if the rest of the Amarok dev team is kept informed.
The more detailed description by the person who reported the bug follows:

Hi there. 

Thanks for looking in to this one. 

In more detail:
I keep my music on a removable hard disk. 

The path to my music collection is:
/media/Evert250GB/Music
This one has about 16,000 songs, in various formats, and various states of
completeness.

I want to create a new collection, with only the songs that have been correctly
tagged and sorted in:
/media/Evert250GB/Tunes
This directory is currently empty.

So, I select both these folders and index the music collection. 
Once that was done, I picked a band that I knew what genre they are normally
classified in to. 
I made sure that all the tags are correct in all the songs. 

Then, in the collection I selected all the songs I want to move to the new
directory, and right-click and then Organize files.

Here I select /media/Evert250GB/Tunes as the destination directory. 
I tick "Use Cover Art for folder icons" and "Ignore The in artists names"
Then I tick Custom format.
I drag down stuff until; I get 
Genre/Artist/album
I have tried the same with the advanced tab, too:
%genre/%artist/%album

Also ticked are "Replace spaces with underscores" and "Restrict to ASCII"
Unticked are "VFAT safe names" and "Overwrite destination"

Then I click on OK. 

What I would expect is that a new directory to me made in 
/media/Evert250GB/Tunes, the name of which is the genre of my mp3. 

This directory stays empty, though. 

I checked that I have permissions to write to this directory, and I have
actually given EVERYBODY write permission to that directory. Still nothing. 

If you need any more info, please do not hesitate to ask. 
Kind regards,
-Evert Vorster-
