Hi Linas, thanks so much for your work!

Unfortunately I think there is a feature in Banshee that landed on 
version 2.1.0 which just lets you do this without the need of your 
workaound/helper:

- If you have LibraryWatcher enabled and Banshee is running, just move 
the files and the DB should get updated. (This was present even before 
2.1.0)
- If you don't have Banshee running or LibraryWatcher disabled, just use 
Rescan Music Library menu option and the DB will get updated with the 
new paths of the files that were moved. (Present since 2.1.0)

Cheers.

  Andres
