Well, I think I just found out from where the bogus info came.

On Sourceforge, I was told that the Bookmarks come from a file in the user's 
Home directory.
I just found ".gtk-bookmarks", that contains:
"file:///home/scott/AA_Directory_Hide/Documents
file:///home/scott/AA_Directory_Hide/Music
file:///home/scott/AA_Directory_Hide/Pictures
file:///home/scott/AA_Directory_Hide/Videos
file:///home/scott/AA_Directory_Hide/Downloads
"

This leads to two (at least!) questions:

1.  When is this file being read?  At installation?  At each boot or LogIn?
2.  Was this file created automatically, or did someone actually intend to 
write "AA_Directory_Hide"?
3.  What is the purpose of this file? 
The contents refer to the same information as is used by xdg-user-dirs, which 
is a standard part of [L]Ubuntu.

This appears to be useless...  These ought not to BE Bookmarks - they are 
standard places.  If someone wants to change where these are, they have already 
used xdg-user-dirs, and this would only circumvent their changes...
IMHO, Bookmarks should be used to add new places, not change standard ones.
