I wrote an extension for this (Checking for photos in filesystem and not
in DB, or photos in DB but not on filesystem, or photos in wrong
directory (not proper YYYY/MM/DD directory). This one should fix it
easily for you.... but for one thing, I have not updated it, and I think
Maxxer was working on it to get it up to date some time ago.

Sorry this is the only suggestion I have for the moment.
Why I suggest this one, is that I have had the same issue as you are
describing a few times, and this extension fixed it nicely for me.
