Existing pictures from PC not displayed in Ovi - although paths set correctly

I have pictures taken using various devices over the years stored on my PC and want them all to show up in Ovi.

 

One such directory which I cannot make appear is at:

 

C:\Users\Peter\Documents\My Multimedia\My Pictures\2000-04

 

I renamed the directory especially to conform to the Ovi naming convention to eliminate that as being the problem.

 

One of the images inside the folder is named:

 

04022000001.jpg

 

which also conforms with the Ovi naming convention, but when I refresh the view in Ovi, it is still not shown.

 

The path for photos in Options > Photos is set to:

 

C:\Users\Peter\Documents\My Multimedia\My Pictures

 

and I even added an extra watch folder below with the full path of one of the folders which it won't display:

 

C:\Users\Peter\Documents\My Multimedia\My Pictures\2000-04

 

but it still doesn't display the contents.

 

The odd thing is that a picture with the following path is displayed perfectly!:

 

C:\Users\Peter\Documents\My Multimedia\My Pictures\Pictures but not personal photos\Evidence-Proof\pope.jpg

 

This is annoying, as I'm hoping to use Ovi to host the pictures that I want to share, but I don't want to have one solution for current pictures and another for legacy pictures. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

 

Thanks.

 

My phone is an E72.
