If you have "write metadata to file" checked, then you can move the
pictures to their new location and the metadata will stay in them. If
you get the thumbnails twice, then rm ~/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db and
reimport them. Note that you'll lose the tags heiarchy, and possible
other things. (versions, rating, anything else?)

Note that you'll need the latest 0.2.2 or CVS to actually read the
metadata in the pictures.
