That is a much simpler (and better) idea and is what I tried originally but
for some reason it just didn't work. I'll try it at my next reboot and see
what happens. BTW I don't think Banshee just takes the files from the
internet. Some of the cover art it was using for mine was embedded cover art
that I thought I'd gotten rid of. So it does seem to check locally before
searching online.


Some cover art must be embedded directly in the mp3 file, like the id3 tags.

This is what I saw in the Banshee web site (FAQ) :
"Where does Banshee get its cover art?
    Banshee looks first in the audio file itself for embedded artwork, then
in the folder the file is in, then from Rhapsody, then Amazon, then finally
Last.fm."

And there was I think my problem : as soon as there is embedded artwork,
Banshee doesn't search for another image. 
It seems that deleting the file in the cover art directory you showed me
makes banshee look for my cover art in the folder the file is.
