Upgrade to 1.4.7 & Build Collection = Incorrect Mapping

First, let me say that I'm relatively new to using Amarok, but I have had it working before and a long Linux history.

That said, my problem is that I have recently upgraded from FC6 to F7 which brought along an upgrade to Amarokk 1.4.7.  After the OS upgrade, I set up Postgresql as my DB and I started Amarok.  Once connected to Postgresql, I ran the Build Collection function.  Everything seemed to go fine until I noticed that there were a significant number of my files that were mapped to the incorrect ID3 info.  A little research and I found that the entries in the database were mapped incorrectly.  That is the file pointers were somehow mixed up.  It seems as though this problem afflicts 20% - 30% of my 60GB collection.  I've rebuilt the entire Amarok DB after removing the ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok directory.  And, I've tried about every setting that I can think of. 

1.  Build and Re-Build of Collection produces same error consistently.
2.  Running the Manage Files=>Organize Files option fixes the problem, but writes the files off to a different location.  Running this option on the entire collection has entered my mind as an option, but it seems like a long process.  Any thoughts about whether this would be a good option?
3.  Running Rescan Collection and Update Collection does not fix the problem.


If you need any additional info, just let me know.

Thanks for the insight,
-- Brian
