One problem with this approach (correct me if I'm wrong) is that 
although Banshee will reimport all the music correctly (losing play 
counts and ratings I guess, but I don't use either), it won't reimport 
Podcasts that are in your library but that are gone from the RSS file. 
This happens fairly often with popular podcasts (i.e. This American 
Life) where, to keep bandwidth use down, only keep the latest episode 
available. All other podcasts still available need to be re-downloaded.

So, if you delete your banshee files, there's no way to get those old 
podcasts back into your banshee podcast library but to import them as 
Music.
