What's interesting though is that it works fine to save your files to a symlink as a destination.
For example, my ~/Pictures are linked to /media/raid/Pictures and it works just fine to import from /media/raid/Pictures/Camera and have my library at ~/Pictures but it does not work to import from ~/Pictures/Camera with my library still at ~/Pictures.
