yes you ca't move a movie without lost information because mythvideo 
compare path and filename with what is in the database. then all movie 
in database that don't have a equivalent movie (path & filename) will be 
remove from database. after this mythvideo add all movie which are not 
in the database.

Don't know exactly why, i believe that someone say that browse video and 
video list don't use the same path to store cover...
but you probaly could correct this with a little patch ;-)
as for me, i don't use "browse video" then i don't want to spend time 
for this .
