which is why i removed an equivalent question from my earlier email. however, 
it may seem to make sense to ship a script that does this (maybe even better, 
a UI) with RB. rhythmbox-move-library would read the current library location 
from gconf, provide a destination chooser (which should test permissions 
before allowing to continue) and then mv (or, if not on the same file system, 
cp -r and rm -r) the files and sed the xml. i have no experience whatsoever 
with GUI building, but would be willing to assist any way i can (test, 
debug).
