If you can read python, the relevant plugin file is
LocalCoverArtSearch.py I think its only looking for images based on
the following - which are implicitly for single folders per album:
"cover", "album", "albumart", ".folder", "folder"

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/rhythmbox/trunk/plugins/artdisplay/artdisplay/LocalCoverArtSearch.py?view=markup

The patch on Bug 414609 would probably deal with your problem - I
haven't checked to see if this still works with the latest SVN code.
